If there's a party and they won't let my friends in, I'd leave. No question.
I know I've been lucky. But it's what you do with that luck afterwards that really defines whether you stick around.
I left home at 17 and I've been on the road ever since.
I think the only real knowledge I had before I went to Iowa was what I learned from 'Food Inc'. But once I got there and developed these extensive relationships with the farmers, I realized that we're basically made of corn.
It's not that I'm opposed to doing a big-budget action movie. But it has to be the right project.
There's really nothing but one audition for a Disney Channel movie that separates me from 2,000 other brown-haired, blue-eyed guys in L.A., you know?
If I had a daughter, and some guy came home with her, I'd be on him like a hawk. When I meet people's parents, I know my place. It's not that hard.
I feel disconnected, like I don't know where I am, if I'm on my phone too much. I'm also just the type to call. I'm not good on text.
Without a doubt, I'd love to do Broadway. I actually can't wait to get back to musical theater.
The awkward thing for me is when the realization happens that I actually might like this girl. Then I become awkward.
Sometimes, especially when it's cold, I get dry skin, so I scratch a lot. I scratch my arms incessantly.
A lot of people ask: 'Will you play a psycho to really change your image and prove you can act?' But that's not what I'm about.
Right when 'High School Musical' was taking off, one of my little cousins called and was really excited to tell me there was a huge 'I Hate Zac Efron' club at her school. I'm sure they're doing great. More power to them.
I just want to make great films and be good in them. And I think that my perception of what's great in a film is constantly evolving.
