Vanessa Hudgens is a superstar, and rightfully so, she recently got her own plush pad (she's only 20!). But, "Bandslam" star admits that she isn't tough enough to turn the TV off at night when she goes to sleep.
"It's weird living by myself," she tells Parade. "I thought I'd be the person who, every time I hear a little noise, would hide under my bed. But I've fallen in love with my home. When I'm in there, I feel safe. I don't think I've gotten scared once — knock on wood — in my house by myself. Then again, I do sleep with the TV on so that I don't hear all the little clinks and clanks at night!"
Although she quite open about her fear of nightly noises, she wasn't as open about talking about her romance with dreamboat Zac Efron and notes that it's all the rumors that make her not want to talk about it. "That's why I'm extremely guarded," Vanessa said. "I really do try to watch everything I say. Because one little tiny slip, and it's like the world is coming to an end! It is hard. I do always have a wall up. But I feel by doing it, I keep myself safe."
That guard is also up when she's just around town running errands. The actress admits she wants to do what she wants with her life, but tries not to be noticed when she does it. "I keep my head down. Usually I'll run around in hoodies, and I've got this massive head of hair, and I throw it all in my face so that nobody can see me," she explained. "But if I want to do something, I'm going to do it, and if people recognize me, the fans, then great. They're the reason why 'High School Musical' is what it is, and they're the reason why I'm here, so I'm thankful."
