Quotes by Thomas Jane

Thomas Jane

Anything that has to do with noir and space, I’m gonna love. When you’ve got a noir-ish, pulpy detective in a science fiction show, I’m all in, in that regard.

Fiction

Noir

Space

Creating a world in a sci-fi show is almost the whole battle. If you have a great story and you can create a great world, as far as the acting goes, it makes my job a whole lot easier.

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.

I like filmmakers where, if their film comes on and you step in halfway through it, you can recognize that, hey, this is a Coen Brothers film. Or, hey, this is a Stanley Kubrick movie. You can recognize some filmmakers. Like, if you put on a Sam Raimi movie, you can tell that it’s a Sam Raimi movie pretty quickly. I like a signature style that people can recognize and relate to, and connect with. I think that is part of why we seek out certain directors. We want to see how they view the world.

I like to imagine that all the choices you make during the day that you’re doing a particular scene are going to feed into the creation of that scene. It’s not a movie-by-movie or a part-by-part basis. It’s a day-by-day thing, and sometimes an hour-by-hour thing.

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.
