Vanessa Hudgens opens up in the October issue of Marie Claire in which she covers about paparazzi and more:

“A sense of knowing I’m part of something bigger than myself has allowed me to enjoy life more and not worry about the little things. Like paparazzi.”

“It’s one thing to have a chat with someone, it’s another to have them know your deepest, darkest secrets,” she tells Marie Claire. “Just because people enjoy watching you in films doesn’t mean they have to know everything about your entire life.”

On her family making sacrifices for her acting career:

“Money was a big thing. My parents drove me up to L.A. [for auditions], which cost a lot because of gas, and took out loans so that we could move from location to location to be close to L.A. The family definitely struggled. They were very supportive of me. They gave up a lot so that I could get to where I am.”

As for what she wants in her future?

“A vintage Mustang, kids, and an Oscar."

Vanessa Hudgens covers the latest issue of PAPER magazine - inside the Spring Breakers star opens up about her naked photo scandal, snorting vitamin B, and leaving behind her tween acting background.

On her High School Musical days:

“In 10,000 hours, they say you can master anything. 10,000 hours in Disneyland and you’re the queen of Disney.”

And about those naked photos she took of herself that happened to make it online?

“That was just a really sh*tty situation that sucked,” recalls Hudgens. “That was by far the worst moment of my career.”

And on having to take "fake drugs" for her role in Spring Breakers, she says they would snort Vitamin B:

“We would run around set like mad men, and people would wonder, ‘Did you switch that out with anything?’” says Hudgens.

”Ever since I was young, I wanted to play really heavy and intense roles and really push myself in a dramatic direction. So I was like, ‘A prostitute! I can play a prostitute! This is going to be exciting.”

Oscar performance? It's a thought!
