I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.
From 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.
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.
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.
I'm a really huge fan of the old romantic comedies from the '30s and '40s... Huge fan. I love all that stuff.
I can't stand to see myself act. It just makes me cringe.
I want to make movies that I want to see, and what I miss and I'm not seeing.
My dad was an entrepreneurial businessman, and maybe I got some of his ability.
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.
I still collect comics. I still have a great love and respect for the genre.
