In the latest issue of Teen Vogue, Vanessa Hudgens opens up about life after High School Musical and life with Zac Efron

On moving on from the High School Musical franchise: “It’s sad. This is our last time doing a movie together, and we love each other so much. We really grew up together. We can be free when we’re around one another, and the amount of fun we have is ridiculous.”

On her personal love life with Zac Efron: “I keep my relationship quiet. I think that works.” **

Vanessa Hudgens is graduating from High School Musical.

On choosing her next project: “I don’t want to do something that messes me up mentally. I think people just don’t realize that sometimes actors can really take it in and become that person.”

On being proud of her High School Musical character: “I love that Gabriella is Hispanic. It’s nice to be able to stand up for people who don’t have someone to look up to very often.”

** Except when she’s stradding Efron for every celebrity gossip reporter within a two-mile radius to see.
