Ive never heard my dad say a bad word about anybody. He always keeps his emotions in check and is a true gentleman. I was taught that losing it was indulgent, a selfish act. – Hugh Jackman
At the end of drama school, I made a contract with myself: Id try acting for five years. I was 26. I had already spent eight years working in restaurants and gas stations. So I had seen enough small businesses to understand that thats what acting is: a small business. – Hugh Jackman
Now I meditate twice a day for half an hour. In meditation, I can let go of everything. Im not Hugh Jackman. Im not a dad. Im not a husband. Im just dipping into that powerful source that creates everything. I take a little bath in it. – Hugh Jackman
My favorite play in drama school was The Bacchae. Its about a king who literally gets eaten alive by all the women in the play in a kind of orgy – its related to the word bacchanal – and I loved that idea of animalistic chaos and following our own desires. – Hugh Jackman
