Vanessa Hudgens

The second I met Zac Efron I thought he was a really cool guy. It’s hard not to have chemistry with someone who is quite attractive.

Being cool is being your own self, not doing something that someone else is telling you to do.

The Lion King always makes me cry, especially when Simba’s father gets trampled.

I’ve had many nicknames over the years: V, Nessa, Nessy Poo, Nessy Bear and Van. Only my parents call me Van, though, and I hate it. I get embarrassed.

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.

[on her mom] She always knows what to do to cheer me up. Whenever I feel down, my mom will take me shopping or out to lunch. she’s 100% there for me, and always has been. My family keeps me going no metter what.

To me, there’s two types of songs, good and bad. And I just like to stick with the good ones.

There are always going to be ridiculous rumors.

Nothing is creepier than a bunch of adults being very quiet.

I really love cursing a lot. But as I get older, I realize it’s a little unseemly for women of a certain age.

I don’t really see the point in washing your hair. If you don’t care if your hair’s clean or not then why would you wash it?

In the morning, I can not be without looking at my phone to see the IM’s or any missed calls that I missed and Food!

I go by my instincts. It’s whatever I feel in the scene in the moment.

I’d love to do a musical, either in film or on stage.

[On husband Ryan Phillippe] I don’t think I can imagine a better guy than the one I’ve ended up with.

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

Kyle saw the things he didn’t accomplish but he could help Adam accomplish.

[whether he thought he was a sexy man-beast] I wouldn’t be able to say. I don’t think I’m much of one. It’s funny, it is the secret to any guy – if people find him unattractive or whatever you just get Stephenie Meyer to tell the world, to put on her Web site that this guy is now attractive and everybody changes their minds.

I’m not always the first person to run out and see something I’m in. I don’t know; for me, that’s not why I did it. I did it because I wanted to act. I don’t really think about the end result. I don’t feel like I have to see it – for me, it already happened.

I’ve been offered a part in Alias and I’m going to do it. I love Alias, it’s great and JJ Abrams is writing me a part especially. It’s just whether I can do it or not – it’s got to be the right time, the right project, it’s got to be fun, it’s got to be worth it and it mustn’t be bad for my career. Most people go ‘it’ll do, it’s work and it’ll make me a bit more famous’ or ‘the money’s good’ but I just think I’ve never regretted saying no. But a lot of people have regretted saying yes.

I don’t particularly tell my guys to cheat. I just tell them not to get caught.
