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've always felt that if you back down from a fear, the ghost of that fear never goes away. It diminishes people.

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

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.

If I'm a lush at anything, it's food and drink. I'm not materialistic in any way, but I value food.

Americans are the most generous country on the planet. I've worked in Europe, I've worked in Australia. There is no where else where you get absolutely no attitude for being a foreigner. If you do your job well, they embrace you.

One thing that I love about World Vision is every place they go, they go in with an exit plan, they don't want people dependent on them.
