Australians are coffee snobs. An influx of Italian immigrants after World War II ensured that – we probably had the word cappuccino about 20 years before America. Cafe culture is really big for Aussies. We like to work hard, but we take our leisure time seriously. – Hugh Jackman
Acting is something I love. Its a great craft that I have a lot of respect for. But I dont think its any greater challenge than teaching 8-year-olds or any other career. In my life, I try not to make it more important than it is and I just hope that rubs off on the people around me. – Hugh Jackman
