I want to grow up, live my life, experience things, make movies about those experiences and by the time the audience catches up, hopefully they'll have a movie there that helps them get through that next phase when the discover life isn't always like High School Musical.
Fame is probably the most unadorable thing about acting.
I'd love to take a year off and travel the world under the radar. I would love to do it really low key. I wouldn't need to stay in fancy hotels or anything; I just want to explore - but I don't know how I'd do it. Would I shave my head to try and go incognito? Ha ha! I'm not telling.
It's the moms who are overaggressive. A lot of times their daughters are very sweet and cordial, and the moms tend to grab you and scream and want to kiss you. You gotta watch out for the moms.
I try to be green as much as I can and it's hard. I feel like I'm never doing enough. 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 know I've been lucky. But it's what you do with that luck afterwards that really defines whether you stick around.
A lot of people ask: 'Will you play a psycho to really change your image and prove you can act?' But that's not what I'm about.
Sometimes, especially when it's cold, I get dry skin, so I scratch a lot. I scratch my arms incessantly.
Without a doubt, I'd love to do Broadway. I actually can't wait to get back to musical theater.
I feel disconnected, like I don't know where I am, if I'm on my phone too much. I'm also just the type to call. I'm not good on text.
If I had a daughter, and some guy came home with her, I'd be on him like a hawk. When I meet people's parents, I know my place. It's not that hard.
There's really nothing but one audition for a Disney Channel movie that separates me from 2,000 other brown-haired, blue-eyed guys in L.A., you know?
I left home at 17 and I've been on the road ever since.
I might not be the greatest actor, but I walk into every project willing to work hard.
