" HOW DO YOU COMPARE TO YOUR CHARACTER, RYAN EVANS? Ryan is so at the opposite end of the spectrum from me that I enjoy going there. We both have a theater background, but that&amp;#039;s about the only similarity. Ryan is so zany, I don&amp;#039;t need a lot of prep time to get into character. I just go as wild, crazy, and over-the-top as I possibly can \u2014 and that&amp;#039;s Ryan! WHAT IS IT LIKE WEARING RYAN&amp;#039;S CRAZY CLOTHES? It&amp;#039;s the same as if I were to put on a medieval costume \u2014 it&amp;#039;s that extravagant and that far from what I wear in my everyday life. In this movie, I have a fish-tiki warrior god costume that&amp;#039;s just about the most ridiculous thing you&amp;#039;ve ever seen. It&amp;#039;s like Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat fish goes to Vegas, with lots of sequins! THE DANCING LOOKS A LOT MORE INTENSE IN HSM2 \u2014 WAS IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU? It was really challenging because I just had corrective surgery on my knee. Ever since the first film, I&amp;#039;ve been dancing more, and I&amp;#039;ve had a torn meniscus since high school. I kept thinking it was going to heal, but before we went on the HSM tour, it was really hurting, so I knew I needed to get it fixed. I went straight from surgery to the tour \u2014 that was my recovery time. But I love dancing and I love this choreography \u2014 it&amp;#039;s so fun! It&amp;#039;s a lot harder and more involved, which is great! HOW DOES YOUR REAL-LIFE FAMILY COMPARE TO RYAN&amp;#039;S? I have a sister, but she&amp;#039;s not my twin. She bossed me around and tormented me when we were kids, like any normal older sister \u2014 but she&amp;#039;s nothing like Sharpay. I&amp;#039;m definitely the wild card of the family. I was the first one to move out and I&amp;#039;m the independent one. WILL WE SEE A SOLO ALBUM FROM YOU IN THE FUTURE? I&amp;#039;ve been playing guitar since I was a little kid, and writing music since I was in eighth grade. I&amp;#039;m a renaissance man when it comes to music \u2014 I play guitar, piano, drums, percussion, accordion, and harmonica. But I&amp;#039;m kind of mediocre at all of them. I&amp;#039;m more of a songwriter than a musician. When I die, I want to have made a country album, rock album, hip-hop album, and blues-jazz album, all that. Right now, I have a bunch of original songs, but I won&amp;#039;t have an album anytime soon. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
