Vanessa Hudgens

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

Back in fifth grade, I was obsessed with Pokemon cards and Beanie Babies! My family and I would be online 4 am in the morning, just to get a new shipment of beanie babies.

Everybody knows me by this scent called Pink Sugar.

I just LOVE lip gloss! It doesn’t matter if it’s $2 or $30.

Confidence is key. Sometimes, you need to look like you’re confident even when you’re not.

I’ve always wanted to play Maria in West Side Story. My idol is Natalie Wood, and I love the movie, so I think a modern-day twist on it would be really neat.

[on dual careers and marriage] Marriage and family come before everything. You don’t want to make a movie at the cost of your relationship.

[On drum machines] Fantastic to write with. They have their place, they’re terribly useful to the musician, but they’re just another tool. They never will replace a good drummer. A lot of the bands that use them, I call them typewriter bands because basically they program the sample sounds with no real dynamics, and that dynamics is very important. And the records come out sounding very flat and very 2-dimensional whereas something with real dynamics and a good drummer can add another dimension – depth – to the band and that’s why bands that play together when they’re actually making the record will always sound better.

I couldn`t stand that my husband was being unfaithful. I am Raquel Welch – understand?

I think its important to keep an element of fear about yourself because it makes you appreciate the jobs.

Most of the time you’re too busy to think about it. But every now and then you say, ‘I work at ‘Saturday Night Live ‘ and that is so cool.

[On his belief in soul mates] I hope there is such a thing. I guess it would be quite scary to find a soul mate when you’re young because you’re probably going to mess it up.

I like work. If it’s not hard enough, I try to make it harder. I like the process of being daunted by it, tackling it, and knowing I can do it.

Some people say, “Never let them see you cry.” I say, if you’re so mad you could just cry, then cry. It terrifies everyone.

There’s nothing worse than a bunch of jaded old farts, and that’s a fact.

I think they want to keep it separate, but I’ve never been a crossover artist for some reason.

When I do eventually drop, I pray to God that it’ll happen in one of three ways. Firstly, on stage or leaving the stage, then secondly in my sleep. And the third way? You’ll have to figure that out for yourself!

Yes, we are celebrities, but yes, we’re also innovators, we’re also inventors, we’re also thoughtful.

Wow. Losing 95 percent of your audience in just five years. That basically makes Obama the NBC of presidents.

If a few companies were less greedy, the people at the bottom woud have a lot more.

To a smart girl men are no problem – they’re the answer.
