More quotes by 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
The definition of being good is being able to make it look easy.
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
I feel so lucky to have both a son and a daughter, because there's a different relationship with each of them.
Hugh Jackman
By nature I'm not a brooder.
Hugh Jackman
Anyone can be an idealist. Anyone can be a cynic. The hard part lies somewhere in the middle.
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
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
If I'm a lush at anything, it's food and drink. I'm not materialistic in any way, but I value food.
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
Your idea doesn't have to be big. It just has to be yours alone. The more the idea is yours alone, the more freedom you have to do something really amazing. The more amazing, the more people will click with your idea. The more people click with your idea, the more it will change the world.
Hugh Jackman
I have done many movies that people hadn't seen. 'The Fountain,' I spent a year on that. 'The Prestige' with Chris Nolan, and 'Australia.' From my perspective it's very satisfying. Some movies people see and other movies they don't. 'Wolverine,' 'X Men,' I know that in some level people know me just for that and it's fine for me.
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 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.
Hugh Jackman
Comic book fans have loved Wolverine, and all the 'X-Men' characters, for more than the action. I think that's what set it apart from many of the other comic books. In the case of Wolverine, when he appeared, he was a revolution really. He was the first anti-hero.
Hugh Jackman
Instead of setting goals, seek defining moments. Those are the real tests, because you have to be willing to fail in a pressure situation in front of other people.
Hugh Jackman
I always felt love from both my parents.
Hugh Jackman
I think I may have been the only person to be rewarded charitably and get a tax deduction for swearing on film!
Hugh Jackman
I never wanted to go longer than five years off the stage. Not necessarily musicals, but just doing a play or something.
Hugh Jackman
The longer it takes you to become successful, the harder it will be for somebody else to take it away from you.
