Without a doubt, I'd love to do Broadway. I actually can't wait to get back to musical theater.
High School Musical has been a blessing and a gift.
I've always been singing. Since day one. I started doing musical theater and you have to sing in musical theater and so that's where I got most of my training. So singing on stage, you just inevitably, when you're around other vocal artists, you get better at singing.
I wore goofy hats to school and did musical theater. Most people thought I was a dork. But if you have a sense of humor about it, no one can bring you down.
We shot 'High School Musical' in eight weeks. I spent longer rehearsing for 'Hairspray' than filming 'High School Musical'.
I want to grow up, live my life, experience things, make movies about those experiences and by the time the audience catches up, hopefully they'll have a movie there that helps them get through that next phase when the discover life isn't always like High School Musical.
A fan sent me a letter and a $10 bill. It's a short letter - all she said was, 'Hey, since it's harder for you to go out these days without getting photographed, here $10 for a pizza.' I was like, 'Aww, she sent me money for a pizza so I could eat at home!'
I just want to make great films and be good in them. And I think that my perception of what's great in a film is constantly evolving.
There are a lot of people who can slide on talent their whole lives; they're just naturally gifted. I've never considered myself one of those people. I enjoy outworking the opposition.
I think every single girl has something different and special about her. You find one who clicks with your vibe.
You always have something to learn from people who have been through more than you. Be open and receptive to what they know.
I might not be the greatest actor, but I walk into every project willing to work hard.
I want to be a well-rounded, versatile performer.
My dogs are crazy. They're always getting into some kind of trouble... but then again, they're my most loyal friends.
