“Every time I go to big events, it’s a trip. I feel like that kid who shouldn’t really be there.”

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!

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.

You talked a big game for someone who never actually played.

It marks a big step in your development when you come to realize that other people can help you do a better job than you could do alone.

There are bigger problems in the world than those of love despite this I can’t fathom why I think I may die if i can’t have you.

There’s no room for doubts when you have dreams as big as yours.

You are what you think. So just think big, believe big, act big, work big, give big, forgive big, laugh big, love big and live big.

Big or small, I appreciate everything that’s done for me.

We live in a strange world, where we think we can buy or build our way out of a crisis that has been created by buying and building things. Where a football game or a film gala gets more media attention than the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced.

Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.
