“Sometimes I take a while to get ready to go out. It’s not excessive, but it takes me some time to find clean clothes that match.”

I wore goofy hats to school and did musical theater.

I’m very competitive by nature. And I like to be the underdog – It’s the best way to win. To come from behind and win is a great feeling!

Every time I go to big events, it’s a trip. I feel like that kid who shouldn’t really be there.

As far as looking at myself on screen, I tend to pick out every single flaw that I could have or should have done better.

Think on your toes, use what’s around you, and come up with something organic and fun.

I like to go and do something adventurous. I like to go out and do some sort of crazy activity.

Jesse McCartney is one of the nicest people around.

When I’m stylizing, it’s all about accessories.

Like a forced awkward situation is very strange. Especially for me, for some reason.

There’s a way that you can throw negativity out there that seems rebellious. But I’ve always taken pleasure in a different kind of rebellion, which is putting a positive spin on everything, trying to enjoy myself at all times.

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.

We shot ‘High School Musical’ in eight weeks. I spent longer rehearsing for ‘Hairspray’ than filming ‘High School Musical’.

The chances of succeeding in this business are slim to none; there’s only a handful of people that have long careers.

A dog, for me, it’s not just getting a dog. I couldn’t leave him at home.

If you’d have asked me when I was auditioning for High School Musical if I ever thought I was going to play a Marine.

I don’t like to live in fear about things like rumors and backlash to begin with – that’s the way I was raised – but I just can’t see what’s so wrong about being gay.

The world sums you up by the clothes that you wear, and treats you accordingly.

People didn’t know the difference between a blue line and a clothes line.

It feels wonderful to be go back to the 1940s and recreate the whole era through my clothes, voice and body language.

In a totalitarian state, the state views any act of an individual to be political in nature. For example, the clothing that a person wears in a modern state is a private affair whereas in the Islamic Republic all women are forced to wear the hijab (Islamic attire).

My parents were vegetarians. I’d show up at school, this giant black kid, with none of the cool clothes and a tofu sandwich and celery sticks.

I love shopping; I’m a jeans and a T-shirt kind of girl, but I go classy when I dress up – with a little bit of sexy.

I’m tryin’ to build myself bigger than just Ace Hood, I’m tryin’ to build myself as a bigger brand – open up clothing lines, colognes.

When we did ‘Dynasty’, it was the clothes. I think the clothes affected every woman around the world. I got so many letters, I think we made the designer a millionaire!
