“I can’t handle the paparazzi. They’re everywhere. One of them was in a dumpster trying to take my photo the other day. It was crazy!”

Being known for musicals is a great thing.

For me as an actor, there’s only so many things I can do, and this is a way, through a film, to teach and hopefully get the message out to young kids.

I watched those movies over and over when I was younger and the music is ingrained into my head. Nowadays, I’m still humming the tunes. It taught me the fundamentals.

I was influenced when I was younger by the cartoon movies that Disney put out, like Cinderella and what not.

So singing on stage, you just inevitably, when you’re around other vocal artists, you get better at singing.

Little Zac had it easy – but he didn’t realize he had it easy, so he took it for granted.

I wish I could say I see my little brother more.

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.

You don’t know what it is to stay a whole day with your head in your hands trying to squeeze your unfortunate brain so as to find a word.

His folly has not fellow Beneath the blue of day That gives to man or woman His heart and soul away.

The Bible talks a lot about thankfulness, and I’m more thankful than I ever was. I try to concentrate on the hundreds of things that go right in a day, instead of the three or four that go wrong.

When you were a kid, a day was a long time and a year was a long time

The challenge to be the best is what drives me and to just improve my body every day.

My end goal is just to do projects at the end of the day that I’m proud of.

In days of doubt, in days of dreary musings on my country’s fate, you alone are my comfort and support, oh great, powerful, righteous, and free Russian language!

Any idiot can face a crisis – it’s day to day living that wears you out.
