I had the poster of 'Hairspray' right above my bed. And I had the biggest crush on Zac Efron, of course.

'Hairspray' has never been irrelevant, which is, in some ways, heartbreaking.

Laziness in my biggest pet peeve of all time. Get up, make a plan, do the work, and love yourself, people!

There's no one who, at some point, hasn't had the feeling their life is on the rails and they can't do anything about it.

It's not like you can say, 'This is the right side and this is the wrong side,' because obviously, a happy person is never going to want to inflict pain on somebody else. So the bullies are really victims themselves and yada, yada, yada, pop psychology, but it's true.

I had the longest awkward phase. I had braces for 3 years; I cut my own bangs too far back and they looked like a bowl cut, and I broke my nose twice.
