More quotes by 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
But in another world, another life, probably growing up in another country, I might have been more of a dancer.
Hugh Jackman
Your wife is always right. Very simple. I think I'm going to get it tattooed on my forehead.
Hugh Jackman
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
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
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've always felt embraced by the Broadway community even before I felt like I earned it.
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
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
Singing is incredibly physical.
Hugh Jackman
To me, the smell of fresh-made coffee is one of the greatest inventions.
Hugh Jackman
In life you don't regret the things you do, you regret the things you don't do.
Hugh Jackman
Meditation is all about the pursuit of nothingness.
Hugh Jackman
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
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
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
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
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
One of the Canadian customs guards got suspicious and said 'Haven't you been coming and going across the border a lot lately?' I finally told him I was auditioning for Wolverine and everything changed. One minute it was get ready for the strip search, the next it was come on and sign six hundred autographs.
Hugh Jackman
Anyone can be an idealist. Anyone can be a cynic. The hard part lies somewhere in the middle.
