Vanessa Hudgens - Flare Magazine's February 2014

Vanessa Hudgens rocks a sexy black outfit on the cover of Flare magazine‘s February 2014 issue.
Here is what the 25-year-old actress had to share with the mag about her evolving career and her devoted fan base:
On working with visionary directors: “The thing with Harmony Korine, the director ofSpring Breakers, is you don’t know what you’re going to get. There were moment when I was unsure how it was going to turn out, because nobody can see the project the way he’s seeing it through his eyes. It was just about trusting him and knowing he was going to make something really interesting and artistic and powerful.”
On taking on more mature roles: “They send you roles that you’ve just done, but I don’t want to do the same thing twice. I want the parts I gotta go out of my way for.”
On her fans: “Now it’s adults, and not even those who have kids, who actually know me. It’s kinda cool because people my age are actually seeing my work and appreciating it.”
