More quotes by Hugh Jackman
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
In terms of theater, there's not a more supportive theater community than in New York. It's really kind of a real thrill to go there. I mean, don't forget, I'm a boy from the suburbs of Sydney, so getting to New York is a huge, huge thrill.
Hugh Jackman
I think the most interesting question is, why do you act? I act because I have felt in acting some of the most free moments of my life...I think it's also one thing that scares me the most.
Hugh Jackman
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
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
I always felt love from both my parents.
Hugh Jackman
The longer it takes you to become successful, the harder it will be for somebody else to take it away from you.
Hugh Jackman
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
I tended to favour the piano over the guitar because it stays in one place, which is what I like to do.
Hugh Jackman
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
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
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
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
I feel so lucky to have both a son and a daughter, because there's a different relationship with each of them.
Hugh Jackman
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
I work extremely hard doing what I love, mainly to ensure that I don't have to work extremely hard doing what I hate.
Hugh Jackman
I never wanted to go longer than five years off the stage. Not necessarily musicals, but just doing a play or something.
Hugh Jackman
I have two children and it's amazing how in tune they are with nature, with light, with smells, with time.
Hugh Jackman
You have to eat before you train. Otherwise, that really intense training, after about 40 minutes you start to flag.
Hugh Jackman
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.
