“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.”

If you really want your hair to look good, just don’t wash it for a day. That’s my secret.

My advice to teens is to try and do something that scares you every day because it’s the only way you can test how far you can really go.

One time I went into a restroom and a girl followed me in.

I think if you’re fame-hungry, go out to a nightclub and get drunk… why do that?

Don’t get me wrong – I’ve gone to a club. But I’d much rather be with my close friends at home or a concert, or on a trip. I’ll go dancing with my grandma. She likes to cut a rug!

I guess I did have my young love. I did everything to impress her. Everything possible. It was just ridiculous.

My dogs are crazy. They’re always getting into some kind of trouble but then again, they’re my most loyal friends.

I notice people that look good.

You can’t describe the feeling of being in love – when you meet someone who makes you a better person.

Great advice comes from people that have been around a lot longer than you.

It’s weird, but I don’t feel like think I deserve any of the attention. There’s really nothing but one audition for a Disney Channel movie that separates me from 2,000 other brown-haired, blue-eyed guys in L.A., you know?

A woman called me interesting once, and it kind of blew my mind. She said, ‘You’re one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met,’ and I was like, ‘Wow.’

We used to fight all the time but now that I don’t see him very often I cherish the time I have with him.

High School Musical has been a blessing and a gift.

I can draw really well. And I like to paint. I’m a bit of an artist.

A girl can tell I like her when I blush or start telling bad jokes.

Shouldnt you be working instead of fraternizing with customers? I choked. He smiled. What are you doing sunday night? I snorted. By accident. Are you asking me out? Youre getting cocky. I like that, angel. I dont care what you like. Im not going out with you. Not on a date. Not alone.

Christians need the gospel as much as non-Christians do.

The ALAS Foundation was born as a consequence and a continuation of what we are doing with Pies Descalzos.

My fun is not doing the easy work. My fun is doing what’s me.

I like to pretend that my art has nothing to do with me.

I started the Pies Descalzos foundation in Colombia when I was 18, and since then, I have been very involved in the crusade for education.

Do a lot of stuff. But always do things the right way. Went to the police academy to become a police officer.

Gerard doesn’t tell me what to do. We discuss everything as a couple, as I imagine most partners do. We have a beautiful relationship and one of mutual trust.
