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.

More quotes by Hugh Jackman
The last 10 years I have had to bulk up for roles and I'm naturally skinny, so I have eaten and killed so many chickens! I wouldn't even want to count. I need to balance that out.
Hugh Jackman
I know I'm not known as method. By nature I'm not a brooder. What I continue to use is a mixture of the English school, which is traditionally outside-in, and the more American way of working from the inside out.
Hugh Jackman
Sometimes you have to go places with characters and emotions within yourself you don't want to do, but you have a duty to the story and as a storyteller to do it.
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
Being on Broadway is the modern equivalent of being a monk. I sleep a lot, eat a lot, and rest a lot.
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
If you accept the pain, it cannot hurt you.
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 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.
Hugh Jackman
I can live with failure if it is born of conviction.
Hugh Jackman
I would love to have a robot at home.
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
A film is the director's medium. The theater is an actor's.
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
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
If you never fall in love with your character, you'll never be able to do that character justice. No matter who it is, no matter what the character does, you have to find the reason for it. Everyone's got a reason for what they do, even if it's a reason that they're not proud of.
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
Life has ups and it has downs. I don't care who you are.
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
