"We have the best driver in the world in drifting and best guy in rally racing and stuff like that. So obviously there's a lot of stuff that I didn't do, but there's a lot of really incredible things that I don't think we've ever seen an actor do."

Life

Quote_1.png
Thomas Jane

Love

Quote_1.png
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."

Act

Quote_1.png
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."

Lie

Thomas Jane
"I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera."

Learning

People

Quote_1.png
Thomas Jane
"People lose people, we lose things in our life as we're constantly growing and changing. That's what life is is change, and a lot of that is loss. It's what you gain from that loss that makes life."
