I’ve grown up a lot, I’m on my own, and I’ve learned some valuable life lessons.
When you’re young, everything feels like the end of the world, but it’s not; it’s just the beginning.
I think the most important thing for me in a relationship is honesty.
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.
High School Musical has been a blessing and a gift.
I love action-adventure-type films – mythical adventures like ‘Lord of the Rings’ or superhero films like ‘Batman.’
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 think it’s fine for girls to ask boys out. I actually prefer it.
I wish I could say I see my little brother more. We used to fight all the time but now that I don’t see him very often I cherish the time I have with him.
I like to go and do something adventurous. I like to go out and do some sort of crazy activity.
I don’t think music is done by any means. I would love to do it again but it’s finding the right thing.
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.
I was influenced when I was younger by the cartoon movies that Disney put out, like Cinderella and what not. I watched those movies over and over when I was younger and the music is ingrained into my head. Nowadays, I’m still humming the tunes. It taught me the fundamentals.
Every actor has three versions of each scene – the one that you rehearse the night before, in your bedroom, the one you actually get to do when you’re filming, and then the one you wish you would have done, afterward.
It’s hard to film underwater. It really is tricky. You don’t have goggles, so you can’t see anything. You don’t know where you’re swimming to. Everything’s blurry.
Every time you make a movie you have to confront your fears.
I’ve always loved dogs. I grew up with them and I love working with them. They’re really fun.
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.
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 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.
Sometimes you grow out of love.
