I'm very specific about scripts that I like. I don't have a master plan or, like, a game plan. I don't have a chart that I'm following or anything like that. I'm very much playing it by ear. Certain things just happen and it's undeniable, you just go that way. But I don't have a specific path I'm following, I'm just playing it by ear.
I don't think there are any rules in real face-to-face relationships or interactions. I think authenticity and being yourself is always, without a doubt, the best plan of action. Things happen differently when you're actually here, so you can't put out a general guideline that's gonna show up in text and be interpreted. There are no rules. Just be yourself.
The more attention you give to the paparazzi, the more it just, like, validates everything . . .
I had a babysitter when I was 12 or younger. I had a big crush on her. She was really spontaneous and fun and loved to make us sing and dance and paint. She was the coolest person in the world. I guess I did have my young love. I did everything to impress her. Everything possible. It was just ridiculous.
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.
I think the most important thing is to establish myself as an actor. As much as it's a performing art, I'm not really a performer.
I've always loved dogs. I grew up with them and I love working with them. They're really fun.
I can tell that fame is probably the most unadorable thing about acting. High School Musical is what got me here today and I'm very grateful - but the fame part isn't so fun.
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.
Every time I go to big events, it's a trip. I feel like that kid who shouldn't really be there.
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.
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?
Sometimes, especially when it's cold, I get dry skin, so I scratch a lot. I scratch my arms incessantly.
I think if a girl is easy to talk to then that's the first thing I look for. It's great when you meet a girl and three hours later you're like, 'Oh my gosh, we've been talking for three hours, what happened to the time?'
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.
The awkward thing for me is when the realization happens that I actually might like this girl. Then I become awkward.
Without a doubt, I'd love to do Broadway. I actually can't wait to get back to musical theater.
My dogs are crazy. They're always getting into some kind of trouble... but then again, they're my most loyal friends.
