Washington, April 17 (ANI): Zac Efron compartmentalises his life in a bid to cope with the fame that his career brings.

The 24-year-old actor - who found fame as a teenager in Disney movie 'High School Musical' - has to separate the glamour and red carpets from his home life to make sure he stays grounded.

You kind of put [life] into two parts of your mind, Contactmusic quoted him as telling the New York Daily News.

There's the Hollywood section and then there's real life. One of them is more of a show but it never overshadows real life for me.

As long as you can draw a comparison between the two, one of which you know to be more important, you're good. For me, the choice is very easy. One is where I work, one is where I live, he added. (ANI)
