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

I've always felt embraced by the Broadway community even before I felt like I earned it.

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.

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.

I'm quite an independent person, and I had to be. As a boy and growing into a young man I had to look out for myself. And now I'm very family-oriented. It's a big priority in my life.

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.

In life you don't regret the things you do, you regret the things you don't do.

I never wanted to go longer than five years off the stage. Not necessarily musicals, but just doing a play or something.
Hugh Jackman

A film is the director's medium. The theater is an actor's.

To get down to the quick of it, respect motivates me - not success.
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

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

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
Image
I have two children and it's amazing how in tune they are with nature, with light, with smells, with time.

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.

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.

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.

The best part about being married is that feeling of being a team. All couples have ups and downs, so having someone you trust is priceless

My gosh, I love food. If I wasn't an actor, I could be a completely different body shape right now.
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.
