About this Quote
This quote by Hugh Jackman speaks with the significance of being a storyteller. As a writer, it is our task to inform stories that are meaningful and impactful. This suggests that often we need to go to locations within ourselves that we don't always wish to go. We have to explore characters and feelings that may be uneasy or tough to face. However, it is our duty to the story and to our audience to do so. We should want to go to these locations in order to create a story that is powerful and resonates with our audience. It is just through this exploration of our own inner depths that we can create stories that are genuinely meaningful and impactful.
