Historically, much of the motivation for public schooling has been to stifle variety and institute social control.

If I meet someone at a bus stop, I want to really meet that person. I don't want to be 'Hugh Jackman, the famous actor.'

I lived with a coffee farmer called Dukale on a trip I made with World Vision to Ethiopia, and realised there's no good reason for the disparity in opportunity around the world.

The last 10 years I have had to bulk up for roles and I'm naturally skinny, so I have eaten and killed so many chickens! I wouldn't even want to count. I need to balance that out.

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

I treat auditions like I treated my first dates. It's an opportunity to get to know a stranger and to learn from each other.

We have far more ability than we give ourselves credit for.
