More quotes by Thomas Jane
I'm interested in people that don't always do the right thing, its much more akin to what I know about life.
Thomas Jane
Harrison Ford - one of my favorite actors - has a wonderful sense of character and depth and uniqueness to him, yet he's able to just deliver the lines without putting any English on it.
Thomas Jane
Great directors turn in mediocre work and first-time directors turn in exceptional work. No matter how good a person can talk about what he wants, you never know.
Thomas Jane
I want to make movies that I want to see, and what I miss and I'm not seeing.
Thomas Jane
Television is kind of restrictive in its directing, but it would be nice to get some chops doing TV.
Thomas Jane
I'm interested in the impact my movies have on people and how it affects them, and what they like and what they don't like - and what they take away from it. What leaves an impression, you know?
Thomas Jane
When I was a kid out here in L.A., I was homeless, I didn't have any money and I was living in my car. I wasn't averse to going down to Santa Monica Boulevard and letting a guy buy me a sandwich. Know what I mean?
Thomas Jane
I can't stand to see myself act. It just makes me cringe.
Thomas Jane
Earlier on in my career I felt that I had to hide behind a lot of different masks, and showboat ways of performing. Now, that's a lie. The less I have to hide, the less I have to act.
Thomas Jane
Some 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 Jane
I 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 Jane
I still collect comics. I still have a great love and respect for the genre.
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 Jane
I'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 Jane
Establishing what the vision is and being able to stick to it is the job, and everyone should be on the same page, going in. With that said, first-time director or not, you never know what you're going to get.
Thomas Jane
I think all good drama is funny. All the best drama is ultimately very funny. Life is funny. You can't have any honest treatise on life without bumping into some humor.
Thomas Jane
I just have a respect for my audience. That seems to be pretty logical.
Thomas Jane
I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.
Thomas Jane
