Vanessa Hudgens

Touring is tough. You’re almost in a haze because you don’t really know where you are half the time: You’re in a hotel room one moment, and the next thing you know, you’re onstage performing for 60,000 people, then you’re back on an airplane. It’s very hectic and I couldn’t do it without my family.

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

If you have paparazzi, you know you’ve gotten somewhere.

The sweetest thing a guy said is that I look pretty with or without makeup.

I’m not very experienced with boys or the whole dating thingy.

My first real kiss came when I was 10, and it was in an acting class. I had to do a scene from a movie where someone gets kissed under a tree, and I did not want to do it! But my acting partner wanted me to feel comfortable, so he bought a picnic basket with all these snacks. He made such an effort- and it was cute.

If you want to be a screenwriter, take an acting class to get a sense of what you’re asking actors to do. Learning other skills will help you communicate with people and respect what they do.

No, I’ve never thought that I was gay. And that’s not something you think. It’s something you know.

There’s no damn business like show business – you have to smile to keep from throwing up.

I don’t have anything that I treasure at all. They’re just things. I tend to buy an awful lot of stuff, like clothes and things. But I wouldn’t be bothered if my house burns down tomorrow.

When you go to Marvel, they lock you in a room with the scripts; they really are that secretive.

Growing up is not being so dead-set on making everybody happy.

I’m keeping the pixie. I hope I inspire people… it’s really cool to have short hair.

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

Now, if it’s just a little toe-tapper, got to make me feel good somehow or another, or when I sing it I can’t make you feel good.

[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.

If women ran the world we wouldn’t have wars, just intense negotiations every 28 days.

I have Faith Popcorn on retainer. I’m sorry-what I meant to say is that I have popcorn stuck in my retainer.

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.’

Photoshop is just like makeup. When it’s done well it looks great, and when it’s overdone you look like a crazy asshole.

When you are writing a script, you can’t help but stop and daydream about which actors are going to play the parts, and I kind of imagined Natalie Portman. Not just because she is beautiful, because obviously she is, but she is a wonderful actress who hasn’t had a chance in a long time to show the world how talented she is.
