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 have done many movies that people hadn't seen. 'The Fountain,' I spent a year on that. 'The Prestige' with Chris Nolan, and 'Australia.' From my perspective it's very satisfying. Some movies people see and other movies they don't. 'Wolverine,' 'X Men,' I know that in some level people know me just for that and it's fine for me.

That's all about the natural order of things, the idea of nature protecting children but also children protecting nature.

I think I may have been the only person to be rewarded charitably and get a tax deduction for swearing on film!

Giving people a hand up, not a handout, is the way forward.

I'd sell my soul for a good cause.

I come from the theater, so for me rehearsal is vital and a way of life. There are many film directors who don't believe in it and some actors who prefer not to rehearse.
