Well my music was different in high school; I was singing about love—you know, things I don't care about anymore.
I was babysitting the night High School Musical premiered last year. I watched with the kids and we sang along to the lyrics. I was making $12 an hour.

When I graduated from high school, I got accepted to York University, Fine Arts film program.
I joined an acting class in my junior year in high school. I'd always wanted to try it.
I'd been an actor in high school, and when I got to college, it was all about film.
I went to a performing arts high school, we learned Shakespeare, I did 'Fences.' When you train, you can do anything.
The first time I acted was in high school in Florida, and when I heard that applause I felt so alive and felt that electricity go up my spine.
Instilling a sense of self-discipline and focus when the kids are younger makes it so much easier by the time they get into high school.
I'd never been to a prom, I had never had the whole high school experience. I think I was kind of an anomaly. I don't think they knew where to put me.

The 1957 crisis in Little Rock, brought about by the desegregation of Little Rock Central High School, was a huge part of the march toward freedom and opportunity in America.
In high school, I was too shy to perform. It's one thing to get laughs from your family, to be funny at parties and in class. It's another thing to get up on the stage.
