Fanbolt.com did an exclusive interview with Ashley Tisdale. She talks about Sharpay, her favorite music, partying, paparazzi, and lots more!

You dance, sing and act in High School Musical 3 – but which of the three do you prefer?

Ashley Tisdale: I’m definitely not a dancer. I can move well, but it’s more about the acting and the singing for me. Acting and singing are completely different, so I can’t say which one I love better because I love them both. I love acting because I get to play different characters. But I also love my music because I get to portray me. My fans can get to know me better through my music, which is something I really like.

What music do you listen to at home?

Ashley Tisdale: Personally, I love eighties music. If I’m at a party and someone’s got an eighties compilation CD, I am the happiest person alive! Apart from that, my favourite artists to listen to include Michael Buble, Billy Joel, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. I love all types of music.

Do you like to party?

Ashley Tisdale: Oh, sure! Who doesn’t like a party? Mind you, I’m not the biggest party animal in the cast of High School Musical. That honour goes to Corbin. He really knows how to start a party! He’s so outgoing and he loves to dance – he’s always the first person on the dancefloor.

What’s the best thing about working in showbusiness?

Ashley Tisdale: I love my job! I really enjoy singing and acting, so a role in the High School Musical movies has been a dream come true.

Are there any downsides to being a successful actress?

Ashley Tisdale: The fame side of the business is a downside when it intrudes into your life. We’re passionate about what we do and we love what we do, so I don’t regret anything – but I can’t stand the paparazzi.

Are the paparazzi a pain?

Ashley Tisdale: The paparazzi are completely annoying! They camp outside my house, which is really upsetting. Even if I just pop out for a coffee, they will follow me. I love this industry and I love what I do, so I guess this is just one thing you have to learn to put up with.
