Vanessa Hudgens

If you really love someone, you shouldn’t have to work at it. You finish each others’ sentences and have the same sense of humor.

[after naked photos leaked] I want to apologise to my fans, whose support and trust means the world to me. “I am embarrassed over this situation and regret having ever taken these photos. I am thankful for the support of my family and friends.

My little sister Stella partly looks up to me. She depends on me and I always try to set a good example for her.

I sing and dance as well, and I would like to do the whole Hilary Duff thing.

I have three closets in my bedroom.

I want to let my fans get to know a little about me. I’m very thankful for everything they’ve done for me so, of course, I’m going to let them into my world a bit. But I really am a very private person, and I love keeping my life to myself-that’s how I’ve always been.

Right now, I do not like kids at all. I mean, I love my fans and everything, but when you have kids following you around all day, it’s like, “Ugh, kids!” Maybe that will change when I get older.

We don’t want to be influenced, just informed.

When I’m playing a character, I use the American accent. But when I go back to England, I just glide right back into Englishness immediately. Every actor uses a dialect coach. Every actor, and if they say they don’t, they’re lying. Everybody does, yeah. You don’t want to worry about it. You have someone listening out to check that you’re not straying.

It is an impressively arrogant move to conclude that just because you don’t like something, it is empirically not good.

I didn’t miss out on a family life because of racing. I had one because of it.

Being on tour is like being in limbo. It’s like going from nowhere to nowhere.

Everybody knows me by this scent called Pink Sugar.

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

[on quitting smoking] I quit smoking four months ago and since then I have been biting-chewing-fidgeting with anything that isn’t nailed down. I quit cold turkey. I was up to two packs a day, I’m coughing, my eyes are red, I don’t have energy, I’m not even enjoying it, so I just said, ‘That’s it.’ I think it might’ve been easier if I went with Nicorette or one of those supplements, but I just don’t get that. Let’s see, I’m addicted to something, so I know! Let’s pop some pills to get over it! Yeah, that makes sense. But now I find myself in conversations where people are looking at me and I’m salivating all over myself. This is how pathetic and sad it is: you start thinking, ‘Who am I without a cigarette in my hand?’

I read while the kids play. I can see them from the kitchen window. And I’m a fast reader.

It’s important to raise your voice in things you feel passionate about and things that you know about. Don’t raise your voice just to raise your voice if you have nothing behind it and don’t know what you’re talking about.

I can do the Chipmunk voice and impressions of Judy Garland, Debbie Reynolds and Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. I could probably do the whole Von Trapp family.

Many people worry so much about managing their careers, but rarely spend half that much energy managing their lives. I want to make my life, not just my job, the best it can be. The rest will work itself out.

I was not popular in high school, I know every actress says that, but really, I was a big geek.

I’ve got CDs in my car, listening all the time for that next song, because everybody’s looking.
