“ To get down to the quick of it, respect motivates me - not success. ”
My gosh, I love food. If I wasn’t an actor, I could be a completely different body shape right now.
~ Hugh Jackman
At the end of drama school, I made a contract with myself: I'd try acting for five years. I was 26. I had already spent eight years working in restaurants and gas stations. So I had seen enough small businesses to understand that that's what acting is: a small business.
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.
As you get older you have more respect and empathy for your parents. Now I have a great relationship with both of them.
