Vanessa Hudgens

Everybody knows me by this scent called Pink Sugar.

[on her nude picture scandal] I’m much better now. But truthfully I don’t like talking about it. It was something that was meant to be private, and even though it isn’t anymore, I’d still like to keep it as private as I can. It was very traumatic, and I am extremely upset it happened. I hope all my fans can learn from my mistake and make smart decisions. But I wouldn’t have been able to get through it if it wasn’t for my family, friends, and fans, who supported me all along the way.

My advice to kids is give it your all! Give it 110% and don’t give up!

Guys act strange around me. I swear I don’t know why!

I love funky styles. Not preppy or rock, just funky!

Do not just look at your boyfriend as just a boyfriend. Look at him as a friend, too.

I decided I am not going to say things I do not mean anymore.

To me the biggest irony of this lifetime that I’m living is that for someone who thrives in the public eye in the creative ways that I do, I actually don’t enjoy being in the public eye.

I like friends who are honest and loyal. They also shouldn’t be afraid to be a kid. I like having fun.

Lowest rated Oscars in HISTORY. Problem is, we don’t have Stars anymore – except your President (just kidding, of course)!

Student debt is like HPV – if you go to college, you are most likely to get it, and it will follow you for the rest of your life.

People don’t have to like or support you, so you always have to say thank you.

What good are fans? You can’t eat applause for breakfast. You can’t sleep with it.

Actors are an insecure breed. It’s hard to have your career depend upon other people’s opinions of what you do.

I’m very wary of talking about statements. I’m a storyteller, I’m an actor, an entertainer.

Entertainment isn’t just based on the very structured syndrome of European popular music, and it’s great that there are so many thousands of people who are of the same opinion.

[on the movie business] The battles that we face in this business aren’t financial, but they are moral. And I certainly think that the longer you can keep your values, and your morality intact, and keep your head on your shoulders about what is important at the end of the day, you can get the most out of this business and really emerge with something wonderful.

There aren’t any hard women, only soft men.

And, you know, politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women – except, of course -those who will end up, you know, like, paying for their own rape ‘kit ‘n’ stuff, But for everybody else, it’s a win-win. Unless you’re a gay woman who wants to marry your partner of 20 years – whatever. But for most women, the success of conservative women is good for all of us. Unless you believe in evolution. You know – actually, I take it back. The whole thing’s a disaster.

Ladies gotta say no to their husbands at the movies. They gotta say: ‘No, we are watching back-to-back cancer movies. And then this movie about a cat.’

I don’t know what would have happened to me if I hadn’t been able to hear.
