Thomas Jane
I'm a really huge fan of the old romantic comedies from the '30s and '40s... Huge fan. I love all that stuff.
Thomas JaneIt's kind of true that they just start making the same movie over and over again. It's also true that the times dictate what kind of movies get made and what kind are not. So I'm always looking for something that's a little fresh and something that I haven't seen before.
Thomas JaneI think what makes us human - is our interconnectedness among people. It's our ability to form and maintain relationships. It's the barometer by which we call ourselves human.
Thomas JaneI just have a respect for my audience. That seems to be pretty logical.
Thomas JaneTo me, it's the kiss of death when you start winking at the audience as an actor. I just never liked it. I don't like it when we do monologues, looking into the character.
Thomas JaneIt's not that the film is violent, it's that people have an issue with violence right now.
Thomas JaneThere's a fine line for me between character acting and leading man acting - the best is a combination of the two.
Thomas JaneSome of the supporting roles that I've done as an actor, I took them because I knew that I would get to watch some of the leading guys in the movies, and also I'd get to work with them.
Thomas JaneMost of my career up until the last couple of years has basically been a training ground for me. Actors that came up in the '50s and '60s, they had the theater, and television was in its infancy.
Thomas JaneI'm of the mind that life is a risk, every time you leave your house it's a risk, and I see no reason to go through life with my hands tied behind my back for any reason. I'd be foolish to let something stop me from doing what I love to do.
Thomas JaneTo stand there and do nothing on film is probably the hardest thing to do.
Thomas JaneI want to make movies that I want to see, and what I miss and I'm not seeing.
Thomas JaneI can't stand to see myself act. It just makes me cringe.
Thomas JaneI spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.
