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

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.

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.

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.

There are moments when you love babies, and you’re like, “God, they are the reason why we exist.” Then they start crying, and you’re like “God! Jesus!”

Spider-Man’s probably my favorite.

I usually spend Valentines Day with my friends. But if I did have a girlfriend, I’d bring her flowers and candy.

Honestly, if the worst these people can say about me is that I’m gay, then I think I’ll be fine. I can handle it.

If I splurge on anything, it’s cologne. I love smelling good.

I’m learning without having to be behind a desk, so it’s a pretty cool place to be.

I think authenticity and being yourself is always, without a doubt, the best plan of action.
