Vanessa Hudgens

Lipgloss is my calling!

I like friends who are honest and loyal. They also shouldn’t be afraid to be a kid. I like having fun.

I sing and dance as well, and I would like to do the whole Hilary Duff thing.

Confidence is key. Sometimes, you need to look like you’re confident even when you’re not.

I guess my parents were strict. There were a few times when being with my friends and had bring my sister. It was just my parents best interests.

I love funky styles. Not preppy or rock, just funky! Vanessa: (on her mom) She gave up so much for me. She moved many times so I could follow my career. Vanessa: I’ve always had problems with guys!

It is an impressively arrogant move to conclude that just because you don’t like something, it is empirically not good. I don’t like Chinese food, but I don’t write articles trying to prove it doesn’t exist.

There’s no comparison between the most precious parts of one’s personal life and success and wealth. If you lost someone near and dear to you, you can’t relate it to any amount of fame, fortune and luxury. You just have to go on living.

I don’t have a sound bite for everything.

[On how she handles people who disagree with her] I’ve learned the art of ignoring people. When people give you some piece of direction you don’t like, you just nod and ignore it. Just don’t do it! Most people want to be heard and acknowledged, anyway. Just do what you want to do.

Before our albums are released I feel like we still own it, that we have control over our music. But once it’s out there in the world it’s no longer ours.

I have standards I don’t plan on lowering for anybody, including myself.

Before Twilight, I did any movie that I got offered. But now fans expectations have doubled and I just can’t mess around. Today, I can’t afford to be a part of any movie. I have to question a lot more now before I take a project. After all I can’t disappoint my fans.

I went up to his [Hank Jones’] house and there were four guys there: Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, and Max Roach. Not a bad place to be. Scared shitless, but a nice place to be on my second day in New York.

I think we can all agree that sleeping around is a great way to meet people.

It’s VH1, it’s everywhere, and you know music is just the world right now. People love music.

[about political pundits suggesting Trump be given a chance to be president] Now, in the broadest sense, I get that impulse: hope for the best in the face of very long odds. It’s like we’re on a plane and we just found out our pilot is a wombat.

I think it’s important to be flexible and free, and you can’t be free and spontaneous if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Just keep taking chances and having fun.

I wrote my own verses. Anything I did, I wrote myself.

I grew up in Tennessee. We didn’t know what Louis Vuitton was. I had to order all my prom outfits out of catalogs.
