“Jesse McCartney is one of the nicest people around.”

High School Musical is what got me here today and I’m very grateful – but the fame part isn’t so fun.

I hate when I hear bad things about him, because anyone who knows him would agree that he’s a good guy and really humble.

I don’t think music is done by any means. I would love to do it again but it’s finding the right thing.

I connect with people on a daily basis.

I bought an electric scooter in sixth grade. Bankrupted me.

Every day is a new experience and I take it as it comes.

My mom is the No. 1 person who has taught me to be courteous towards women.

It’s hard to film underwater. It really is tricky.

Amanda Bynes and I have become close since filming ‘Hairspray.’ It’s so weird because I grew up watching her.

Every time you make a movie you have to confront your fears.

I try to be green as much as I can and it’s hard. I feel like I’m never doing enough.

Dating is kind of hard. Like dinner or something like that.

You always have to remember that bullies want to bring you down because you have something that they admire.

In sixth grade, my basketball team made it to the league championships. In double overtime, with three seconds left.

Also, when you get made fun of-when people point out your weaknesses, it’s an opportunity for you to rise above.

I love action-adventure-type films – mythical adventures like ‘Lord of the Rings’ or superhero films like ‘Batman.’

One day that same year, I told my dad that someday, I would sail around the world alone.

Our response has been, “Well, let’s then make an effort to get the Israelis and the Palestinians to sit around the table.” That hasn’t happened. So we only have ourselves to blame for this crisis.

If you have a government that is elected, they need to do the hard work — because if they don’t, they won’t be around the next time the ballot box is open.

I dunno, around 11th grade, 12th grade I was just like “yeah. This is something I want to do”. I was always known; I was always the rapper.

As the music played over the speakers and the waterfall in the pool filled the silence around us, I knew that without a doubt I had just been ruined.

The work that the kids saw around them was so odious, so boring, so worthless that they came to regard WORK as the only dirty four-letter word in the English language.

We don’t look at each other [in the car], but instead do so only when we want to. We’re allowed to look around without appearing rude. We have a big screen in front of us and side views.
