Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000022339
It's always interesting - how do you actually convey thought through song? We're used to the convention on stage. In film, we used to be used to it, and now sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. You need to be fresh and really look at the material. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000024526
I never wanted to go longer than five years off the stage. Not necessarily musicals, but just doing a play or something. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000034132
The first show I ever did, singing and dancing, was 'Beauty and the Beast.' I was playing Gaston. Gaston has red tights, knee high boots, and it's very physical. I had headaches every day for two months. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000052951
I hate being frightened of things. I'm not someone who can say: "Oh, I'm scared of flying, I won't fly." Fear seems to creep over every part of your life so if there's something I identify as frightening to me I want to tackle it. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000068353
I remember at one point being in fellowship, and everyone used to wear the fish symbol; it said you were a Christian. So I asked my father, 'Dad, why don't you wear that at work?' And he said, 'Your religion should be in your actions.' He set a great, great example. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000071821
Giving people a hand up, not a handout, is the way forward. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000082671
Comic book fans have loved Wolverine, and all the 'X-Men' characters, for more than the action. I think that's what set it apart from many of the other comic books. In the case of Wolverine, when he appeared, he was a revolution really. He was the first anti-hero. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000095665
I do not think it is logical to try and outsmart the smartest people. Instead, my weapons are irony and paradox. The joy of life is partly in the strange and unexpected. It is in the constant exclamation 'Who would have thought it?' -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000099801
If you never fall in love with your character, you'll never be able to do that character justice. No matter who it is, no matter what the character does, you have to find the reason for it. Everyone's got a reason for what they do, even if it's a reason that they're not proud of. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000112201
One thing I do personally started 20 years ago. I started meditating, and I know twice a day I can kind of let everything drop. It's just about being quiet, like drawing back the day, and it allows me to have energy. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000135540
My father taught me that losing your temper is a self-indulgent act. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000136971
I've broken a cardinal rule of art, music, and career paths: actors are supposed to act, and musicians are supposed to music. That's how it works. You don't buy fish from a dentist, or ask a plumber for financial advice, so why listen to an actor's music? -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000138299
I was probably more scared of my high school exams than I was of the Oscars. At the time you think it's everything and if you don't do well, your life's over. Opportunities are gone. So the more you do it, the less the fear is present. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000144711
By nature I'm not a brooder. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000149115
Write down five things you love to do. Next, write down five things that you're really good at. Then just try to match them up! Revisit your list once a year to make sure you're on the right track. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000160673
I'm a mad lover of sport. You cannot say a bad word to me about sports. So I know business is involved and I know it can be cynical, and, of course, I watch it, but for me it's pure. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000164499
The moment your kid's born you realize no one knows anything. No one goes to classes. You just have a kid. You can read all the books you like, but unfortunately none of our kids have read the books so they don't care. You're basically making it up as you go along. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000196874
I'd sell my soul for a good cause. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000212065
I know I'm not known as method. By nature I'm not a brooder. What I continue to use is a mixture of the English school, which is traditionally outside-in, and the more American way of working from the inside out. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000218484
If I meet someone at a bus stop, I want to really meet that person. I don't want to be 'Hugh Jackman, the famous actor.' -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000221428
Historically, much of the motivation for public schooling has been to stifle variety and institute social control. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000233213
The word philosophy sounds high-minded, but it simply means the love of wisdom. If you love something, you don't just read about it; you hug it, you mess with it, you play with it, you argue with it. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000248561
My father is very Jean Valjean. He's what I would call a great example of a religious person. He is a deeply thoughtful man whose religion is in his deeds way more than anything else. It's not talked about that much. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000264354
I come from the theater, so for me rehearsal is vital and a way of life. There are many film directors who don't believe in it and some actors who prefer not to rehearse. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000267491
My father was an army champion boxer ... in the British army. And so he loved boxing and talked it up as a sport. But then when my brother and I were beating the crap out of each other, he was always trying to tone it down. But I am a fan of boxing. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000281782
To have memories of those you have loved and lost is perhaps harder than to have no memories. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000281920
Acting is something I love. It's a great craft that I have a lot of respect for. But I don't think it's any greater challenge than teaching 8-year-olds or any other career. In my life, I try not to make it more important than it is and I just hope that rubs off on the people around me. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000288718
I once sang 'Summer Nights,' from 'Grease,' at a bar in Melbourne with John Travolta, who's a good friend of mine. He looked cool singing the part of Danny - sitting in an armchair, smoking a cigar - while I got stuck playing Sandy. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000290362
My parents were drawn to the idea that there was space and opportunity in Australia. For the meagre sum of £10, you could sail your entire family out to Australia, so that's what my father chose to do. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000302233
The longer it takes you to become successful, the harder it will be for somebody else to take it away from you. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000346573

Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000350133
We can live tough lives, but the human spirit is stronger, seemingly, than anything. There is redemption, hope, and love. All different forms of heartbreak, but beyond all that there is hope, there is love. There is beauty and bliss. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000361869
There is anxiety, but it comes after you've finished filming because it's out of your hands; people are editing it, they're cutting it, marketing it. And it's ... part your career sort of rides on that. But when you're actually filming it's a team thing and it really feels good there for me. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000365208
When I come home, my daughter will run to the door and give me a big hug, and everything that's happened that day just melts away. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000376729
One afternoon when I was 9, my dad told me I'd be skipping school the next day. Then we drove 12 hours from Melbourne to Sydney for the Centenary Test, a once-in-a-lifetime commemorative cricket match. It was great fun - especially for a kid who was a massive sports fan. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000391757
I have a terrific marriage, but unlike a lot of relationships where they ebb and flow, no matter what happens you fall deeper and deeper in love every day. It's kind of the best thing that can happen to you. It's thrilling. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000392797
The most scared I'd ever been was the first time I sang at a rugby match, Australia versus New Zealand, in front of one hundred thousand people. I had a panic attack the night before because people have been booed off and never worked again ... just singing one song, the national anthem. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000392828
Australians are coffee snobs. An influx of Italian immigrants after World War II ensured that - we probably had the word 'cappuccino' about 20 years before America. Cafe culture is really big for Aussies. We like to work hard, but we take our leisure time seriously. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000398565
I'm not doing Bond. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000402752
I had spent some time in the outback, but to meet Aboriginals and work with them was wonderful. It gave me a great appreciation of how tough life is and about the indomitable spirit that the Aboriginal people have always possessed. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000402987
Talking about an X-Men Kissing scene I had to lay down there and think of England as one by one they bring out the girls. It was a very tough morning ... After each girl had finished, the crew would hold up scorecards. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000427964
If I could only do one exercise, it would be dead lifting. For cardio, I dance, I ride my bike, I run and I have kids. There is a ... lot of cardio just from being a parent. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000428552
To me, the smell of fresh-made coffee is one of the greatest inventions. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000430327
I'm a big goofball, you know. Don't tell anyone that, but I'm a big goofball. In Australia we call it a dag. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000431899
If I weren't getting paid or didn't have a character like Wolverine to maintain, I would just be a tall, lean, fit guy. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000431998
There was a whole display set up of all the X-Men paraphernalia. My wife couldn't resist telling this 5-year-old boy that I was Wolverine. The little kid looked up at me and he was staring at me. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000433325
I've always felt embraced by the Broadway community even before I felt like I earned it. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000438237
Now I meet people with full-color Wolverine tattoos on their backs. Thank God I did okay, because I think if I hadn't, they'd spit on me in the street. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000451457
I'm quite a competitive person, so I do quite like to win. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000471771
What I respect as far as in myself and in others is the spirit of just doing it. For better or worse, it may work and it may not, but I'm going to go for it. Ultimately I probably prefer to be respected for that than whether it works out or not, either winning or losing. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000491769
I just love making a fool out of myself. I made my living as a clown at kids' parties for about three years. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000525947
That's all about the natural order of things, the idea of nature protecting children but also children protecting nature. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000536164
As you get older you have more respect and empathy for your parents. Now I have a great relationship with both of them. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000537331
I'm doing a new musical on Broadway, which opens in October called 'The Boy from Oz,' where I play Peter Allen. For those of you who don't know, he became first famous in America for marrying Liza Minelli. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000554282
My dad's main client was the World Bank, and he spent most of his time traveling to Third World countries. His particular interest lay in the eradication of poverty through development and business. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000561761
I think one of the things I always loved about the comics was this idea that this character, when he goes berserk, that white, blind rage makes him incredibly powerful, but it's also a great flaw. It's almost like he loses consciousness of what he's doing. During that he can do great damage. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000562252
I would love to have a robot at home. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000573094
Nobody suddenly discovers anything. Thing are made slowly and in pain. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000579060
Instead of setting goals, seek defining moments. Those are the real tests, because you have to be willing to fail in a pressure situation in front of other people. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000584747
There comes a certain point in life when you have to stop blaming other people for how you feel or the misfortunes in your life. You can't go through life obsessing about what might have been. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000591456
Transcendental Meditation gives you what you need, when you need it. It's literally changed my life. Some of the clearest ideas or epiphanies I've had in life happened during or after meditating. Everything becomes clear and the truth starts coming out. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000599037
I tended to favour the piano over the guitar because it stays in one place, which is what I like to do. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000628493
Life has ups and it has downs. I don't care who you are. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000638359
One of things I'd love to do one day is a Shakespeare with Trevor Nunn. I've done musicals with him, but never Shakespeare. There's no one better. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000645631
Sometimes you have to go places with characters and emotions within yourself you don't want to do, but you have a duty to the story and as a storyteller to do it. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000651267
Nothing has ever opened my eyes like transcendental meditation has. It makes me calm and happy, and, well, it gives me some peace and quiet in what's a pretty chaotic life! -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000651662
Meditation is all about the pursuit of nothingness. It's like the ultimate rest. It's better than the best sleep you've ever had. It's a quieting of the mind. It sharpens everything, especially your appreciation of your surroundings. It keeps life fresh. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000653666
With age, you see people fail more. You see yourself fail more. How do you keep that fearlessness of a kid? You keep going. Luckily, I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000656060
My agent said to me five years ago, 'Hugh, I can see one day you ... if I had to plan a goal for you, it's for you to have the kind of career that Sinatra had.' -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000660596
The Wolverine was fired from his job as a cashier in a newsagents after just six weeks because his boss said, "he talks too much to customers". He can talk to me all day. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000660600
When you're playing an icon like Wolverine, it's sometimes better to be someone that nobody knows because they don't know what to expect. I don't mind a little bit of anonymity; it helps on the subway. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000675491
I truly believe that the job of an actor and the drive of an actor is simulating the internal journey in life which is to get deeper and deeper into our understanding of who we are. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000686682
I always think the great parts outlive the actors that play them and that's a stage tradition, that goes back hundreds of years and it should be that way. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000700579
I've never heard my dad say a bad word about anybody. He always keeps his emotions in check and is a true gentleman. I was taught that losing it was indulgent, a selfish act. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000701301
Now I meditate twice a day for half an hour. In meditation, I can let go of everything. I'm not Hugh Jackman. I'm not a dad. I'm not a husband. I'm just dipping into that powerful source that creates everything. I take a little bath in it. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000704192
I can live with failure if it is born of conviction. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000708326
The last 10 years I have had to bulk up for roles and I'm naturally skinny, so I have eaten and killed so many chickens! I wouldn't even want to count. I need to balance that out. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000731278
I lived with a coffee farmer called Dukale on a trip I made with World Vision to Ethiopia, and realised there's no good reason for the disparity in opportunity around the world. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000731283
I don't think I knew how going to Ethiopia would affect my life, through a very simple choice of buying fair-trade coffee, we can take part in change. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000735449
Breakfast is my specialty. I admit it's the easiest meal to cook, but I make everything with a twist, like lemon ricotta pancakes or bacon that's baked instead of fried. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000737289
As an actor, you have many tools - your body, your voice, your emotions, mentally. In film, you have your eyes because they communicate your thought process. In fact, generally in film, what you don't say is more important than what you say. That's not so much the case for stage. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000743073
As a boy, I'd always had an interest in theater. But the idea at my school was that drama and music were to round out the man. It wasn't what one did for a living. I got over that. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000748776
I think adoption is a blessing all around when it's done right. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000759956
I tried making an album six years ago. It was just horrific. Trust me, it's smashed into smithereens. I paid big money to silence that one. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000763318
For me that's one of the great indulgences in life - a hand-tailored suit, and a great pair of handmade shoes. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000765789
I'm lucky to have worked in theater all over the world, but there's something magical about Broadway. The audiences are smart, they're educated. They go in ready and they're up for it, they're up for the party. It's a whole different atmosphere. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000781089
Your marriage goes to a whole new level. You not only fall in love with your wife in a new way, but you're forced to pull together. You have to become a united front. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000794153
I love food, all types of food. I love Korean food, Japanese, Italian, French. In Australia, we don't have a distinctive Australian food, so we have food from everywhere all around the world. We're very multicultural, so we grew up with lots of different types of food. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000806341
At the end of drama school, I made a contract with myself: I'd try acting for five years. I was 26. I had already spent eight years working in restaurants and gas stations. So I had seen enough small businesses to understand that that's what acting is: a small business. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000807804
I had a bad back for a couple of years. I had to do a lot of physiotherapy for it. What I couldn't understand at the time was why the therapists had me doing a lot of stomach work. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000844951
People photograph everything and nothing - no interaction is deemed to have actually happened unless somebody has a picture of it, -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000920199
I meditated before I hosted the Oscars, I meditate before I go on stage, I meditate in the morning and lunchtime when I'm on a film set. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000949222
For Sunday breakfast, I make orange and ricotta pancakes, crepes and eggs. You know men, we usually go for breakfast because it's the easiest thing to cook and then we try to make it seem fancy. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000950379
But in another world, another life, probably growing up in another country, I might have been more of a dancer. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000977208
At which point should we let go and do what we want to do, and when should we submit to rules? Coming to terms with our true natures and who we really are has always been a fascination to humans. I know it fascinates me. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 000988026
I like to dress up in a tailored suit from time to time, and there's a tailor I go to in Naples who's fantastic. But if I told anyone his name, I'd have to kill them. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001004282
To this day, I am the least materialistic person I know, because my father didn't raise me to just go out and buy this or that car. The only reason I wanted to make money as an actor was because I'm passionate about food! -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001010520
I've never been on a film when an entire cast signs up for the entire time. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001013752
I have two children and it's amazing how in tune they are with nature, with light, with smells, with time. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001018545
I like the Rolling Stones for karaoke. 'Sympathy For The Devil' is a great one. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001027153
I don't think many actors are the best judge of careers. I think generally we have good instincts about what we can do in terms of acting. And often they become directors, which I don't want to be. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001031716
Wolverine was created in the '60s, but he feels like a '70s character in every way. More Dirty Harry, more politically incorrect, the hair, the mutton chops. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001036320
The definition of being good is being able to make it look easy. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001043840
I do heavy weights in the morning for about an hour, and then I do 45 minutes of higher-volume lifting in the afternoon. My least favorite is the legs ... I do quite a few chin-ups and rows. I do mostly old-school lifting with a lot of squats. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001044314
Meditation has changed my life -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001053914
Because I believe actually the more you do something, the less frightening it becomes because you start to realize the outcome is not as important as you think. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001053993
I didn't really know X-Men at all before I started. So I'd heard of this comic but I didn't know it was as beloved or as iconic as I have now found out, but I just know fans are going to flip out at this. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001055396
I'm not a kid. You don't get in this business for anonymity. It's not like I have posters of myself on the wall, but at the same time, I'm kind of ready for a little bit of it, but I worry for my little one, and my family - their privacy. That's what I'm more protective of. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001081799
My favorite play in drama school was 'The Bacchae.' It's about a king who literally gets eaten alive by all the women in the play in a kind of orgy - it's related to the word 'bacchanal' - and I loved that idea of animalistic chaos and following our own desires. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001119020
The secret to modern life is finding the measure in time management. I have two kids, career and I travel, and I don't think my life is any different than most couples. The most valuable commodity now for many people is time and how to parcel that out. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001119072
But anyone who's done a musical knows; whether you're dancing or not, physically it's the most difficult thing you can do. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001120889
Look, my philosophy in life is expect nothing and everything is a bonus. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001126486
The audience knows the truth, the world is simple. It's miserable, solid all the way through. But if you could fool them, even for a second, then you can make them wonder, and then you got to see something really special. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001143979
I always felt love from both my parents. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001163109
If I go to a party I don't feel like I have to be in the centre. But I do find myself quite often being placed in that position. Even when I was younger at school, I would be asked to make a speech. I don't remember putting up my hand and all that often but I'd just find myself there. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001196295
Actually, I graduated from university as a journalist. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001214590
Anyone who thinks they're indispensible is fooling themselves. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001217775
My friends say, 'Man you're going to have kids sleeping on pillowcases with your face on it! You're going to be on toothbrushes and magnets and stuff.' I guess now that I'm a dad, I'm thrilled about that. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001237601
I've dreamt of being in a movie musical for a long time. For some reason I never even thought 'Les Mis' would be possible. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001238758
It's tough to watch a movie you're in - you put everything into it, you want everything to work, and you never know until you see it all together. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001247466
I can't stand the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard! -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001254693
Salvatore Ferragamo have done some nice handmade suits for me. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001255356
I treat auditions like I treated my first dates. It's an opportunity to get to know a stranger and to learn from each other. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001259433
When lifting, I'm always with a trainer because the thing that makes a difference is that last 20% in your training, and he very scientifically looks after my food as well, because when I'm going for a 'shirt off' shot, everything changes the month before, and I'm timed down to the day. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001264870
I'm doing 'Les Miserables,' the movie. I've done a lot of musicals and a lot of movies, and I know there are not a lot of people in Hollywood who have been down those two paths so I've been like, 'Come on, let's do a movie/musical.' -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001266991
A film is the director's medium. The theater is an actor's. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001269048
To get down to the quick of it, respect motivates me - not success. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001271643
I can look back on my life, where there have been moments where things might have gone the other way. Everything is like stepping stones, and I've seen people I admire falter. We're all vulnerable. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001276970
To make films like 'X-Men' work commercially - and also have some class - is one of the hardest things there is to do. I want to be seen to be able to cross lots of genres and still be 'fair dinkum,' as we say in Australia, which means genuine and true and, well, unique. -- Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001288835

Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001662796

Hugh Jackman Quotes : pic 001851021
