It's not that I'm opposed to doing a big-budget action movie. But it has to be the right project.
If there's a party and they won't let my friends in, I'd leave. No question.
Amanda Bynes and I have become close since filming 'Hairspray.' It's so weird because I grew up watching her.
Jesse McCartney is one of the nicest people around. I hate when I hear bad things about him, because anyone who knows him would agree that he's a good guy and really humble.
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.
We shot 'High School Musical' in eight weeks. I spent longer rehearsing for 'Hairspray' than filming 'High School Musical'.
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 think every single girl has something different and special about her. You find one who clicks with your vibe.
I'm bad at returning phone calls.
From day one, I got addicted to being on stage and getting the applause and laughter.
My dogs are crazy. They're always getting into some kind of trouble... but then again, they're my most loyal friends.
I wore goofy hats to school and did musical theater. Most people thought I was a dork. But if you have a sense of humor about it, no one can bring you down.
The awkward thing for me is when the realization happens that I actually might like this girl. Then I become awkward.
Right when 'High School Musical' was taking off, one of my little cousins called and was really excited to tell me there was a huge 'I Hate Zac Efron' club at her school. I'm sure they're doing great. More power to them.
Working out is my biggest hobby. It's my Zen hour. I just zone out.
Little Zac had it easy - but he didn't realize he had it easy, so he took it for granted. I think going through 'Hairspray' and other projects helped me learn about the business and life in general.
I love action-adventure-type films - mythical adventures like 'Lord of the Rings' or superhero films like 'Batman.'
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.
Sometimes I take a while to get ready to go out. It's not excessive, but it takes me some time to find clean clothes that match.
I usually spend Valentines Day with my friends. But if I did have a girlfriend, I'd bring her flowers and candy.
