Zitat des Tages von Zac Efron:
Working out is my biggest hobby. It's my Zen hour. I just zone out.
High School Musical has been a blessing and a gift.
I think if a girl is easy to talk to then that's the first thing I look for. It's great when you meet a girl and three hours later you're like, 'Oh my gosh, we've been talking for three hours, what happened to the time?'
I wore goofy hats to school and did musical theater. Most people thought I was a dork. But if you have a sense of humor about it, no one can bring you down.
I like when a girl knows what she looks like and dresses to accentuate those features.
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.
There are a lot of people who can slide on talent their whole lives; they're just naturally gifted. I've never considered myself one of those people. I enjoy outworking the opposition.
I'm very competitive by nature. And I like to be the underdog - It's the best way to win. To come from behind and win is a great feeling!
Spider-Man's probably my favorite. You see, Batman is a billionaire and there's nothing really cool about a billionaire saving the world. But Spider-Man is Peter Parker, a conflicted character who puts on a suit and saves the world. I love that.
A fan sent me a letter and a $10 bill. It's a short letter - all she said was, 'Hey, since it's harder for you to go out these days without getting photographed, here $10 for a pizza.' I was like, 'Aww, she sent me money for a pizza so I could eat at home!'
Without a doubt, I'd love to do Broadway. I actually can't wait to get back to musical theater.
I wish I could say I see my little brother more. We used to fight all the time but now that I don't see him very often I cherish the time I have with him.
If I splurge on anything, it's cologne. I love smelling good.
I'll never try to put on a fake image. I'm just Zac.
I might not be the greatest actor, but I walk into every project willing to work hard.
I love action-adventure-type films - mythical adventures like 'Lord of the Rings' or superhero films like 'Batman.'
The fans make the person a star.
I think if you're fame-hungry, go out to a nightclub and get drunk... why do that? I don't understand how some people would want fame so bad that they'd go out and get negative attention to earn it.
In sixth grade, my basketball team made it to the league championships. In double overtime, with three seconds left, I rebounded the ball and passed it - to the wrong team! They scored at the buzzer and we lost the game. To this day, I still have nightmares!
A girl can tell I like her when I blush or start telling bad jokes.
I've been doing musical theater since I was a kid. And look for a CD from me in the future. I want to write all the songs!
I was influenced when I was younger by the cartoon movies that Disney put out, like Cinderella and what not. I watched those movies over and over when I was younger and the music is ingrained into my head. Nowadays, I'm still humming the tunes. It taught me the fundamentals.
Honestly, if the worst these people can say about me is that I'm gay, then I think I'll be fine. I can handle it.
Every time I go to big events, it's a trip. I feel like that kid who shouldn't really be there.
Think on your toes, use what's around you, and come up with something organic and fun.
Great advice comes from people that have been around a lot longer than you.
Being known for musicals is a great thing.
We shot 'High School Musical' in eight weeks. I spent longer rehearsing for 'Hairspray' than filming 'High School Musical'.
It's not that I'm opposed to doing a big-budget action movie. But it has to be the right project.
I don't know if I believe in love at first sight, but of course I believe in two people having chemistry right away. A girl should be really easy to talk to. When I lose track of time because we've been talking, I think that's really fun.
From day one, I got addicted to being on stage and getting the applause and laughter.
I grew up being into sports and I wasn't trained to move my body in the right way for dancing. I'm the last one to get any moves correct. In rehearsals it's always, 'OK, one more take for Zac.'
I left home at 17 and I've been on the road ever since.
Amanda Bynes and I have become close since filming 'Hairspray.' It's so weird because I grew up watching her.
Dating is kind of hard. Like dinner or something like that. Like a forced awkward situation is very strange. Especially for me, for some reason.
I'm a guy, but I'm not afraid to cry. Not all of the time. But when I'm watching a movie, I'll sometimes shed a tear, especially 'Moulin Rouge'.
