'High School Musical' is definitely the best thing that's happened to my career and I walked away with great friends from it.
When I was in high school in St. Louis my best friend was Marsha Mason. Marsha was a year ahead of me.
The sun would come up over the ocean, and we'd be eating scrambled eggs before we shot some stuff. It was a vacation in the sense that it was the best working conditions.
I desperately want to see the day today and do the best I can not miss a shred of sunlight. It'll be over before I know it.
I'd say my happiest moment as an actress came when I learned I'd won the Look Magazine Best Supporting Actress Award for 1956 in The Killing.
Friends always ask me what the best Indian restaurant in L.A. is. I'm like, 'I don't know, dude. I have an app on my iPhone for that.'
I'm at my best when I'm working. I just recently learned how to find balance and deal with downtime and take advantage of it.
In the states we all have this idea, everyone who wants to be the next best singer, next best dancer. Those same wants and desires are in India, too.
You get below the Mason-Dixon line and you have some of the best music, culture, the two races, the literature, and it's so rich.
As an actress, I'm constantly watching different shows and films and am always gathering information and inspiration for characters and techniques to make my performances the best they can be.
Every audience has a personality. Some of them don't have the best personalities, but you're on a date with them for an hour and a half, so you just make the best of it.
Your landscape in a western is one of the most important characters the film has. The best westerns are about man against his own landscape.
I don't really necessarily think I'm a funny guy, but I like the opportunity to take on something that I don't feel I'm the best at doing.
I didn't plan on being a single mom, but you have to deal with the cards you are dealt the best way you can.
I've worked with Filipino technicians, and they are, I think, among the best. I'm looking forward to visiting the Philippines, maybe for a vacation or to shoot a movie.
If you play it straight it's funny - the best comedy is always played straight down the middle. The adjustment is understanding from the screenplay that a moment is hilarious.
My husband and I are loyal to our community and very approachable, even though we're kind of mainstream.
I kind of don't like doing film commentaries because I think they're kind of weird.
I tend to spiral out of control if I'm not working. I get panicked and don't know what to do with myself.
I do dream about Afghanistan. I wake up and think I'm still there.
I don't get nervous in any situation. There's no such thing as nerves when you're playing games.
