“I think if a girl is easy to talk to then that’s the first thing I look for.”

I’ve been doing musical theater since I was a kid. And look for a CD from me in the future. I want to write all the songs!

I’m the last one to get any moves correct. In rehearsals it’s always, ‘OK, one more take for Zac.’

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 wouldn’t just have other people write songs and me go out and sing it.

I’ve always cared about fashion and what I look like.

I can tell that fame is probably the most unadorable thing about acting.

I’ll never try to put on a fake image. I’m just Zac.

Honesty is most important, and it’s difficult when you’re young and single and sort of figuring out your own life.

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.

I can’t explain to you what it’s like to be a heartthrob. I don’t think I am a heartthrob.

I’m looking for a life partner and I’m not ready. I’m not emotionally mature enough.

You don’t have goggles, so you can’t see anything.

Hopefully they’ll have a movie there that helps them get through that next phase when they discover life isn’t always like High School Musical.

I think the most important thing for me in a relationship is honesty.

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