Vanessa gave an interview where she talked about herself and HSM3!
"I am a happy person," Hudgens says as she settles in to talk about the new movie. The feature film that is in movie theaters Friday is the end of a three-year journey that has made the 19-year-old Salinas native a superstar. Her face is as well known as fellow Disney star Miley Cyrus or any one of the Jonas Brothers.
She's got plenty of reasons to be happy. Her role as the very positive Gabriella Montez in the three films gave her a chance to do the things she loves to do: act, sing, dance. She even found romance with her leading man, Zac Efron.
That romance has not been all smiles. Tabloids and Web sites printed nude photos Hudgens had sent to Efron. That's the kind of stuff that makes Mickey Mouse blush.
Mostly, it has all been good. Take the fact Hudgens began acting at such an early age she was home-schooled. No traditional high school experience for her. No prom. No graduation line.
No problem.
"That is just another reason why 'High School Musical' means so much for me. I got to go to my prom for the first time, but it was a lot better. I got to have the prom every girl wishes they have," Hudgens says of the prom sequence in the feature film. "I got to wear a cap and gown for the first time and graduate with people who I love dearly, cast members who have become my dearest friends."
Positive, positive and more positive. That's Hudgens.
Well, there is a moment when that winning smile fades just a tad when asked about the waltz number she and Efron perform in the movie. It was definitely a dance number that took lots of rehearsals.
"It was the most difficult dance that I have had to do throughout these three movies just because it is so different. I have taken tap, jazz, hip-hop. But nothing could ever prepare me for doing the waltz," Hudgens says. "The lifts we do. The turns we do. It was a lot."
She thought director/choreographer Kenny Ortega was joking when he told her about the dance. Once she realized it was not a joke, Hudgens took a positive approach to the number and in the end feels a great sense of pride for what she and Efron accomplished. It turned out to be one of her favorite parts of the movie.
She would do anything for "High School Musical." That's because she was drawn from the first audition to the opportunity to play such a positive Latino character.
"It wasn't the stereotypical leading lady. The fact that she is Hispanic was something that I found really interesting. She is this strong, positive young woman who is always fighting for the right thing. I am very proud to be part of it. I feel there are not that many people can represent for a different ethnicity," Hudgens says. "It really is an honor."
Hudgens pauses to take a sip out of a huge white mug. It is filled with steaming hot tea. She struggles at times to suppress a cough. Nothing has stopped her globetrotting to promote the movie. That's because she knows what it means to be part of the "High School Musical" phenomenon.
At times it has been a little overwhelming for her. But she has never stopped feeling blessed and appreciative for it all. That's because she was a struggling actress before the first Disney film. Hudgens had roles in "Thirteen" and "Thunderbirds." Nothing gave her the chance to act, sing and dance and to reach such stardom. She's very positive about that.

Hey guys sorry for the lack of updates here are some news!
Ashley said that there certainly isn’t any jealousy on set over Vanessa’s boyfriend Zac Efron, who Ashley sees as a little brother: “Vanessa and Zac are a great couple. We’re all like brothers and sisters on the set so there’s no jealousy about their romance.
“It’s very sweet to see them so romantic and none of us minds seeing them like this together. They are as much in love off screen as they are in HSM. There’s such a great chemistry that it is like a fairytale.”

Looks like that "fan" attacked that Zac recieved in London didn't affect Zac at all!
The “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” cast left London last week amid reports that Zac Efron was attacked after leaving a theater with girlfriend and co-star Vanessa Hudgens – but the couple tells Access Hollywood’s Shaun Robinson that the press had the story backwards.
“I actually got hit in the face!” Vanessa says. “If anything, I was the one who got attacked, not Zac.”
According to Vanessa, the couple was leaving the Apollo Theater in London’s West End when a man got stuck in front of their car, blocking the entrance.
“There was a guy who was walking down the street and I think he was a little drunk and he got pushed into the craziness of it all,” she says. “He was blocking the door so our bodyguard had to push him aside.”
But when Vanessa sat down inside, she realized she’d been hit.
“I looked in the mirror and got a huge scratch and I was bleeding,” she says.
Meanwhile, Zac tells Shaun he had been so intent on getting in the car that he barely noticed the commotion.
“I just heard about it,” he says. “I was just focused on [the] van door – I’ve gotta get to it. I got in the van and we drove away… I don’t remember getting harassed.”

She said: “I have a blonde wig at home. We just try and go about life because it’s still going and we want to live it.”
