More quotes by Hugh Jackman
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
To get down to the quick of it, respect motivates me - not success.
Hugh Jackman
I just find the evangelical church too, well, restrictive. But the School of Practical Philosophy is non-confrontational. We believe there are many forms of scripture. What is true is true and will never change, whether it's in the Bible or in Shakespeare. It's about oneness.
Hugh Jackman
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
I had a fairly enlightened dad, though if you looked at his resume, it might not seem that way. He was a chartered accountant for Price Waterhouse. He was strict, and we had a very ordered life. 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.
Hugh Jackman
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
Singing is incredibly physical.
Hugh Jackman
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
I like the Rolling Stones for karaoke. 'Sympathy For The Devil' is a great one.
Hugh Jackman
If I'm a lush at anything, it's food and drink. I'm not materialistic in any way, but I value food.
Hugh Jackman
I have a wife and a son, but the gay rumors have started. I guess it's a sign that I'm moving up the ladder.
Hugh Jackman
And I think that, of course, there is some dysfunction of needing to be liked or noticed or to feel part of things, something going on there for most actors. For some there's not and I think they really struggle with it.
Hugh Jackman
Meditation is all about the pursuit of nothingness.
Hugh Jackman
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
I always felt love from both my parents.
Hugh Jackman
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
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
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
You have to eat before you train. Otherwise, that really intense training, after about 40 minutes you start to flag.
Hugh Jackman
I just love making a fool out of myself. I made my living as a clown at kids' parties for about three years.
