More quotes by Hugh Jackman
You have to eat before you train. Otherwise, that really intense training, after about 40 minutes you start to flag.
Hugh Jackman
I like to dress up in a tailored suit from time to time, and there's a tailor I go to in Naples who's fantastic. But if I told anyone his name, I'd have to kill them.
Hugh Jackman
I was probably more scared of my high school exams than I was of the Oscars. At the time you think it's everything and if you don't do well, your life's over. Opportunities are gone. So the more you do it, the less the fear is present.
Hugh Jackman
You have to find your own shtick. A Picasso always looks like Picasso painted it. Hemingway always sounds like Hemingway. A Beethoven symphony always sounds like a Beethoven symphony. Part of being a master is learning how to sing in nobody else's voice but your own.
Hugh Jackman
If somebody in your industry is more successful than you, it's because he works harder than you.
Hugh Jackman
GOOD IDEAS ALTER THE BALANCE IN RELATIONSHIPS. THAT IS WHY GOOD IDEAS ARE ALWAYS INITIALLY RESISTED.
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
When I come home, my daughter will run to the door and give me a big hug, and everything that's happened that day just melts away.
Hugh Jackman
Transcendental Meditation gives you what you need, when you need it. It's literally changed my life. Some of the clearest ideas or epiphanies I've had in life happened during or after meditating. Everything becomes clear and the truth starts coming out.
Hugh Jackman
I would love to have a robot at home.
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
Life has ups and it has downs. I don't care who you are.
Hugh Jackman
To get down to the quick of it, respect motivates me - not success.
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
I hate being frightened of things. I'm not someone who can say: Oh, I'm scared of flying, I won't fly. Fear seems to creep over every part of your life so if there's something I identify as frightening to me I want to tackle it.
Hugh Jackman
Meditation is all about the pursuit of nothingness.
Hugh Jackman
I can live with failure if it is born of conviction.
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
One of the Canadian customs guards got suspicious and said 'Haven't you been coming and going across the border a lot lately?' I finally told him I was auditioning for Wolverine and everything changed. One minute it was get ready for the strip search, the next it was come on and sign six hundred autographs.
Hugh Jackman
I love food, all types of food. I love Korean food, Japanese, Italian, French. In Australia, we don't have a distinctive Australian food, so we have food from everywhere all around the world. We're very multicultural, so we grew up with lots of different types of food.
