Half the time on vacation, if I'm in a bikini, I allow myself - I eat, like, waffles and pancakes for breakfast, so that's me after, like, a big meal. I'm not the one that's like, 'Oh my gosh, I'm going to be on the beach.'

I can take a week's vacation - maybe a week and a half - but after that, I'm itching to go back to work.

I use Kerastase Oleo-Relax when I get out of the shower. It saves my hair. Actually, I've been doing this Brazilian treatment to my hair. It's a lifesaver; I don't even use a straightener anymore.

Communication is so key.

Zac Efron would make us feel guilty for eating big dinners. He'd say, 'Do you really want to eat those carbs?' It was like, 'Thanks a lot!'

I just loved playing the mean girl. When you're not like a character, it's kind of fun to play.

In high school, it was all about popularity, being with the boyfriend and all the girls thinking he's cute.

I'm in love with 'Bravo.' Me and my girlfriends love 'Bravo-ing,' which doesn't necessarily mean watching 'Bravo.' It's when you're a bum and you're on your couch watching reality shows.

I loved performing in the 'High School Musical' movies - that didn't seem like work - but the gym felt like torture!

You can be plain and smart, or pretty and smart. You can even be plain and dumb! You just have to be yourself.

Growing up I always knew I had a deviated septum on the right side of my nose, which caused trouble breathing. The older I got, the worse it got.

I hope to inspire people, influence people.

I love to work out and do cardio and have a healthy, active lifestyle, but I also am not going to, like, freak out over food.

I'm a very positive person, that's something that's like my character Savannah. She's very positive in everything that she does and I'm the same way in real life.

If I feel like someone's trying to bring me down, I just walk away from it.

I like to do a lot of cardio.

I definitely think cheerleaders have no fear. When I took the Hellcats job I was like whoa, this is a sport. Cheerleaders deserve a lot of respect for what they do.

You never know what`s going to be big. It`s the fans. It was just a Disney Channel Movie and the kids made it huge... For High School Musical 2 (2007) (TV), we just wanted to have fun and make something together.

I think nothing ever ends on Disney Channel. They keep playing it.

I think it's so important, as young women, to have relationships, especially when you're in your early 20s. But it's always so important to focus on yourself.

Sometimes, girls focus too much on relationships - like, "I need a boyfriend!" But you should really just focus on yourself. But it will all come together when you least expect it.

I love pink, it's so girly!

I did find some time to go to a record store and check out "Headstrong" actually in the racks. It was pretty cool; I never thought I'd see my own CD sitting there with everyone else's. I made my Mom take lots of pics!

I never give up on things.

I used to hate looking in the mirror. I've grown up into myself and now I'm happy with the way I look.

Don't let anyone, or any rejection, keep you from what you want.

I was always superthin, too skinny, actually. I felt like someone could break me in half. I realize now that being a bit more curvy and toned is so much more beautiful.

Scary Movie' was a different type of comedy than I'm used to. I've mostly done sitcoms, so working with David Zucker, who wrote the film and who directed the last two 'Scary Movie's and 'Airplane' and 'Naked Gun,' was a lot of help.

My family belongs to a tennis club in Valencia, California, so I always go there. I play a lot of tennis with my dad and swim. And I like to go to the gym there.

I know I come off like a very outgoing person, and yeah, I'm outgoing, but there's also a part of me that still likes to be in my little shell sometimes.

I just like guys who have an edge to them. But it could go either way. Like, I have been into the surfer blond frat guys, and then there's definitely a thing where I like the dark, mysterious bad boy.

I like someone I can have fun with and who can be more laid-back than I am, because it calms me down.

Cheerleaders deserve a lot of respect for what they do.

I definitely think cheerleaders have no fear. When I took the 'Hellcats' job, I was like, 'Whoa, this is a sport.'

The family on my mom's side, their whole business is inventing and pitching stuff. My grandfather is in infomercials. He's a pitchman, so if you're ever watching TV late at night, you'll probably see him pitching knives. My great-grandfather also invented the plastic cheese grater.

People see me as cute, but I'm so much more than that.

I'm someone who's always on the go and crazy busy, so I like to keep snacks in my car and at the office, and Cracker Jack'd is a really yummy snack that I love. I definitely am a big snacker.

I feel like when I went back to my original hair color, a little bit of an edgier side came out.

I did find some time to go to a record store and check out 'Headstrong' actually in the racks. It was pretty cool; I never thought I'd see my own CD sitting there with everyone else's. I made my Mom take lots of pics!

Degree actually came to me and asked me if I wanted to be a part of their campaign, and I thought it was just really exciting and important, obviously to my fans, and growing up I had tons of OMG moments. I get to share my own moments through video blogs.

When I was little, I saw the play 'Les Miserables' on Broadway, I thought it was the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

I'm a confident person. I just try to be me. I like to make people laugh, I am a comedienne - so if people find me sexy, that's awesome.

I have always been really scared of scary movies just because I live by myself - and then seeing something, then having a big imagination and then like thinking you see it in the middle of the night. So I've never been really into them.

It's really hard when a celebrity dies out of nowhere, 'cause it's very shocking... surreal.

My look is a very individual look. I love Pink, but I don't really dress like Pink.

I love shopping, but I can find something to buy wherever I go! London is great for shopping, as is Los Angeles and New York - but I can find a good shop in the middle of nowhere!

I love being home at Christmastime.

I actually liked Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I remember just watching it and being pleasantly surprised with that movie. I didn't think it would be as good as it was, so I love that movie.

I've had a normal life, but I have struggled to get here. It hasn't been handed to me and it hasn't been easy.

I remember seeing Airplane, and even Mel Brooks movies like History of the World Part I, and just really loving that style of movies that make fun of movies. I think it needs to be done. All of these movies are ripe for being poked at.

I like to have fun but my fun is different from other people's fun.

I feel like every project I've ever done has had music involved in it somehow.

I grew up on movies like Airplane! and The Naked Gun. You probably saw it more recently, but as a kid I grew up on them so I loved those kinds of movies.

Music and fashion inspire each other.

With every character, I just bring something that I can make my own.

My agent didn't want me on Disney because I'm older. But honestly, I'm not ready for older roles yet, or even the things older girls do. I am still young.

I'm happy that I was able to experience a normal life besides show business, because it gives you something to draw from.

I'm not just the young girl everybody thinks I am. I'm actually a woman.

I don't go clubing. So, I don't smoke or drink.

Relationships help you learn more about what you want. If one doesn't work out, you just kind of look at it and go, Okay, well, this is what I did like and this is what I didn't like, and this is what I did wrong, and maybe I need to be more like this. And so you learn things, and that's why you grow. And you bring all the stuff that you've changed about yourself to a new relationship until you finally find that person you really, really want.

I want people to know that I'm a real person, and that I've been through normal situations, like crushes and heartbreaks.

I look at Jessica Alba and think she's got a great body. I think that's what women are supposed to look like.

An 'OMG' of mine would probably be speaking on stage and performing in front of thousands of people!

I love change, and I love changing my hair. But it was strange to look in the mirror and think 'Who is this girl?

I'm not into clubbing. I want to be known for my work.

I'm not someone who likes to be in the whole Hollywood tabloids.
