One big, big memory, there's so many of them, but we were filming High School Musical 1 and we were filming the finale "We're All In This Together" and we had all of this cameras going, the cast and the dancers and I looked in to the gymnasium and said, "Man if Disney does the job we're doing here this is gonna reach a lot of people", and I took the cast and put them in a circle and said, "Get ready, I think your lives are gonna change". [...] Just had this premonition, this feeling that we're up to something that was gonna matter.
