More quotes by Hugh Jackman
It dawned on me that acting was what I wanted to do with my life. Nothing had ever touched my heart like acting did.
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
I find that kid actors are great reminders of the simplicity of acting. As you get older, you can sometimes complicate things a little more. You can become too aware of, 'Okay, this is the scene emotionally. This is where we need to be. We've got the climax coming up.' You can start to analyze it too much.
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 tended to favour the piano over the guitar because it stays in one place, which is what I like to do.
Hugh Jackman
I had spent some time in the outback, but to meet Aboriginals and work with them was wonderful. It gave me a great appreciation of how tough life is and about the indomitable spirit that the Aboriginal people have always possessed.
Hugh Jackman
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.
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
I've always felt embraced by the Broadway community even before I felt like I earned it.
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
To have memories of those you have loved and lost is perhaps harder than to have no memories.
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
Doing anything worthwhile takes forever.
Hugh Jackman
If you put Buddha, Jesus Christ, Socrates, Shakespeare, Arjuna, Krishna at a dinner table together, I can't see them having an argument.
Hugh Jackman
One afternoon when I was 9, my dad told me I'd be skipping school the next day. Then we drove 12 hours from Melbourne to Sydney for the Centenary Test, a once-in-a-lifetime commemorative cricket match. It was great fun - especially for a kid who was a massive sports fan.
Hugh Jackman
I'm an actor who believes we all have triggers to any stage of emotion. It's not always easy to find but it's still there.
Hugh Jackman
With age, you see people fail more. You see yourself fail more. How do you keep that fearlessness of a kid? You keep going. Luckily, I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself.
Hugh Jackman
A film is the director's medium. The theater is an actor's.
Hugh Jackman
The audience knows the truth, the world is simple. It's miserable, solid all the way through. But if you could fool them, even for a second, then you can make them wonder, and then you got to see something really special.
Hugh Jackman
The activity of being a husband, a father - those are roles, too, but underneath them is the spiritual center that connects us all, and that's what's most important.
Hugh Jackman
