Efron told USA Today:
I could do prom better... I'd probably be a bit more debonair. I'd be the guy in the circle. And I'd ace my SATs. But I think I'm for the most part proud of the way I lived my high school experience. Even the biggest mistakes that I made -- they were probably what got me here today."
