Life has ups and it has downs. I don't care who you are.

Singing is incredibly physical.

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

A film is the director's medium. The theater is an actor's.

Becoming a father, I think it inevitably changes your perspective of life. I don't get nearly enough sleep. And the simplest things in life are completely satisfying. I find you don't have to do as much, like you don't go on as many outings.

I'm lucky to have worked in theater all over the world, but there's something magical about Broadway. The audiences are smart, they're educated. They go in ready and they're up for it, they're up for the party. It's a whole different atmosphere.
