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.

More quotes by 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
I'm not a loner at all.
Hugh Jackman
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
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
If you accept the pain, it cannot hurt you.
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
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
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
A film is the director's medium. The theater is an actor's.
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
People photograph everything and nothing - no interaction is deemed to have actually happened unless somebody has a picture of it.
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
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
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 got hooked on espresso when I visited Italy at 18, but these days I prefer a 'flat white.' It's like a small latte with less milk - they're popular in Australia.
Hugh Jackman
I've always felt that if you back down from a fear, the ghost of that fear never goes away. It diminishes people.
Hugh Jackman
My gosh, I love food. If I wasn't an actor, I could be a completely different body shape right now.
Hugh Jackman
It's absolutely physically demanding to play the role of Wolverine. There's a lot of action, and I try to do as much of it as I can because it's better for the audience.
Hugh Jackman
Salvatore Ferragamo have done some nice handmade suits for me.
Hugh Jackman
I tended to favour the piano over the guitar because it stays in one place, which is what I like to do.
