Vanessa Hudgens's Quotes

• [on her nude picture scandal] I'm much better now. But truthfully, I don't like talking about it. It was something that was meant to be private, and even though it isn't anymore, I'd still like to keep it as private as I can. It was very traumatic, and I am extremely upset it happened. I hope all my fans can learn from my mistake and make smart decisions. But I wouldn't have been able to get through it if it wasn't for my family, friends, and fans, who supported me all along the way.
• Power to the Peaceful.
• [on her role in The Frozen Ground (2013)] Ever since I was really young, I wanted to play a prostitute. It's just, like, thrilling as an actor to put yourself in a situation you, personally, would never be in. At the end of the day, you're just a kid playing pretend, so if you're going to do it, might as well go crazy with it.
• I love and really respect strong women. I'm obsessed with Scarlett Johansson, Drew Barrymore and Penélope Cruz. They are just really incredibly strong-willed, intelligent females in the industry.
• I don't like being stagnant. I want to continue to grow and just be better at what I do, and the only way to do that is to keep stepping outside of your comfort zone.
