To this day, I am the least materialistic person I know, because my father didnt raise me to just go out and buy this or that car. The only reason I wanted to make money as an actor was because Im passionate about food! – Hugh Jackman
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
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
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
Consider the perverse effect cap and trade has on altruistic actions. Say you decide to buy a small, high-efficiency car. That reduces your emissions, but not your countrys. Instead it allows somebody else to buy a bigger S.U.V. – because the total emissions are set by the cap. – James Hansen
