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

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.

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

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 signed an autograph for her in the sink. It was pretty funny because she was in a guy’s restroom and she wasn’t embarrassed at all.

Everything we say and do and think has its effect on everything around us.

I have seen too many chaotic settings, where children are running around. There’s no sense of purpose.

I know exactly how we fit together, his arm around my waist, my hands on his chest, the pressure of his lips on mine. We have each other memorized.

I don’t sit around with my friends and talk about money, ever. On a record, that’s different.

Every free day, every weekend, I am in a recording session. I’m very lucky to have such supportive people around me.

I watch her blond head until it disappears around the bend, and I feel bare, like there’s nothing left to protect me against pain. Her absence stings worst of all.

Shh,” I say. “Arms around me.” Obediently, he slips both arms around my waist. I smile at the wall. I am not enjoying this. I am not, not even a little bit, no.

It will be proved that it extends everywhere, most fluid and simple, and nowhere presents obstacles as was formerly held, the circuits of the Planets being wholly free and without the labour and whirling round of any real spheres at all, being divinely governed under a given law.
