People sometimes say, 'Oh, you were a movie star,' and I'm like, 'No, I was a supporting actress.' I wasn't an A-list actress, and I'm fine with that. I'm proud of what I did in film.
I never stop myself from doing something because I’m afraid of what people might think.

High School Musical has been a blessing and a gift.
I can draw really well. And I like to paint. I'm a bit of an artist.
