First time Quote by Zac Efron
“As far as watching myself on screen, I tend to, especially the first time around, pick out every single flaw, or things I could have and should have done better. I dont know why, but I tend to dwell on those things. Im more of a cringer, at first. And then, when its years down the road and its out of the way, I can look back and appreciate it somehow.”
