"Being in India gave me a perspective that material things are not the end-all, be-all of what life is about… I was shown the light in India… It gave me the strength and wisdom to overcome a lot of rejection." Hindu leaders in America have applauded Jane for his comments, and he has been invited to visit temples to further his love of Indian knowledge. Leading U.S. statesman Rajan Zed says, "I urge Mr. Jane to further study the rich philosophical thought which Hinduism offers. Jane should start with ancient scripture Bhagavad-Gita, which says: 'You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work. You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction.'"

Jane explained, "We kind of form a little family, sort of surrogate family where my son and I'm a father and she becomes the mother to the son. We become a little unit as we're trying to get through this nightmare together."

"I've been reading comic books since I was eight years old, and in comics, anything's possible," Jane told MTV News. "They come up with angles that you could never shoot in life, and they really have to work hard to make that two-dimensional space feel three-dimensional, so it's a fantastic resource for coming up with ideas for shots." "I wanted to do something that was unique, and yet also paid homage to filmmakers who had a big impression on me," said Jane, "like David Lynch, the Coen brothers, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, but also John Alton, who is a great cinematographer who worked with Anthony Mann on films like 'Raw Deal' and 'He Walked By Night.'" According to Jane, when it came time to pull double duty on the film, he sought advice from one of the more prominent actor/directors in recent years-and discovered that he was just the latest in a long line of people to receive the same words of wisdom. "I called Mel Gibson and he talked to me on the phone for an hour, and said that when he was getting ready to direct and star in his first film, he was nervous and he called Clint Eastwood,"

"But that equipment is coming, and when it does I certainly hope that we give 'Dark Country' a home theatrical 3-D release," he added. While his 3-D plans for the film involved looking ahead to the future of the medium, Jane said his inspiration for the tone of the film involved more of a rearview-mirror take on filmmaking-especially when it comes to horror movies. "I wanted to make a movie that was for people who enjoy movies that are off the beaten track, you know?" said Jane. "I wanted to make a movie for fans of cult films, for fans of 'The Twilight Zone,' for guys who stayed up late to watch 'The Outer Limits' when they were probably too young to do that."
