I don't go long without eating. I never starve myself: I grab a healthy snack.
I was actually home-schooled, so I never had the opportunity of going to prom. No-one invited me, I didn't have a good friend at the time, that's why High School Musical's been so much fun for me because I got to experience my prom through it. There were amazing friends and I got to wear really cool dresses. It was a fantasy.
If people don't like me for whatever I do, for being me, then that's too bad. I don't want to change to be something that I'm not for other people to like me.
When I was younger, I used to be super, super shy. I still find myself being scared of things.
If you have paparazzi, you know you've gotten somewhere.
I like egg white omelets with veggies, or oatmeal with almonds and fruit.
I love Cameron Diaz, and I love Drew Barrymore.
I have a toy poodle, Shadow. She's a little whippersnapper! And I love little monkeys.
I just lip gloss! It doesn't matter if it's $2 or $30.
I feel completely safe in my house but all my friends are scared for me. And of course I can tell my parents panic a little. The best thing about living alone is being able to have my friends come over whenever.
If you really love someone, you shouldn't have to work at it, you finish each others' sentences and have the same sense of humor.
I love and really respect strong women. I'm obsessed with Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore and Penelope Cruz. They are just really incredibly strong-willed, intelligent females in the industry.
Before High School Musical, I wanted to be a nitty-gritty actress. And High School Musical came along, and, I was like, "Oh my God, fun!" But the more we did it, the more prude I became.... When I am around kids and they come up to me, of course I am going to act a certain way, but at the end of the day, I'm doing this for myself. I'm going to be doing movies kids can't watch.
