But anyone who's done a musical knows; whether you're dancing or not, physically it's the most difficult thing you can do. (Hugh Jackman)

Singing is incredibly physical.

Hugh Jackman

I have two children and it's amazing how in tune they are with nature, with light, with smells, with time.

Hugh Jackman

My parents were drawn to the idea that there was space and opportunity in Australia. For the meagre sum of £10, you could sail your entire family out to Australia, so that's what my father chose to do.

Hugh Jackman

The first show I ever did, singing and dancing, was Beauty and the Beast. I was playing Gaston. Gaston has red tights, knee high boots, and it's very physical. I had headaches everyday for two months.

Hugh Jackman

My kids are not that interested in my movie career, by the way. My son, in particular, never talks about it. He just wants me as his dad.

Hugh Jackman

If I could only do one exercise, it would be dead lifting. For cardio, I dance, I ride my bike, I run and I have kids. There is a... lot of cardio just from being a parent.

Hugh Jackman

When I made 'Real Steel,' the director actually had the robots in the monitor, so he knew where everything was. So technically, there's been advancements. But at the end of the day, movies are about story and characters, so all the other stuff is great, but unless you have those two elements, then you've got nothing.

Hugh Jackman

I'm not a loner at all.

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

One thing I do personally started 20 years ago. I started meditating, and I know twice a day I can kind of let everything drop. It's just about being quiet, like drawing back the day, and it allows me to have energy. (Hugh Jackman)

It's absolutely physically demanding to play the role of Wolverine. There's a lot of action, and I try to do as much of it as I can because it's better for the audience.

Hugh Jackman

As you get older you have more respect and empathy for your parents. Now I have a great relationship with both of them.

Hugh Jackman

But in another world, another life, probably growing up in another country, I might have been more of a dancer.

Hugh Jackman

I'm always very nervous about the word 'dancer' next to my name because anyone who's really trained in dance will go, 'This guy's fudging so badly.'

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

I had spent some time in the outback, but to meet Aboriginals and work with them was wonderful. It gave me a great appreciation of how tough life is and about the indomitable spirit that the Aboriginal people have always possessed.

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

I do heavy weights in the morning for about an hour, and then I do 45 minutes of higher-volume lifting in the afternoon. My least favorite is the legs... I do quite a few chin-ups and rows. I do mostly old-school lifting with a lot of squats.

Hugh Jackman

When lifting, I'm always with a trainer because the thing that makes a difference is that last 20% in your training, and he very scientifically looks after my food as well, because when I'm going for a 'shirt off' shot, everything changes the month before, and I'm timed down to the day.

Hugh Jackman

You have to eat before you train. Otherwise, that really intense training, after about 40 minutes you start to flag. (Hugh Jackman)

Salvatore Ferragamo have done some nice handmade suits for me.

Hugh Jackman

To make films like 'X-Men' work commercially - and also have some class - is one of the hardest things there is to do. I want to be seen to be able to cross lots of genres and still be 'fair dinkum,' as we say in Australia, which means genuine and true and, well, unique.

Hugh Jackman

I had a bad back for a couple of years. I had to do a lot of physiotherapy for it. What I couldn't understand at the time was why the therapists had me doing a lot of stomach work.

Hugh Jackman

If you ask my wife, the biggest fault is my inability around the house. She says the only thing handy about me is that I'm close by. And, I have a terrible memory. I'm bad at saying no. I often double-book. There are a lot of things.
