“... I’m just going with whatever feels good for right now.”
“I’ve always loved writing ever since I was young,” she reflects. “I always enjoyed making up stories or characters, and that’s why I really like TV and movies. I almost went to college majoring in a screenwriting-type program. It’s just always something that I have enjoyed and something I’m always gonna enjoy, even if I don’t write for like months at a time because I don’t have the motivation. It’s a nice creative outlet and it’s been something that I’ve been wanting to explore a little bit.”
With regard to the current project, she reservedly offers, “I’ve been working on it, and I’m trying to take my time with it because obviously I want it to be really good, and I want it to be accurate. And it’s a lot of pressure, because when you’re telling your own story, it’s like you don’t want people to misunderstand you or misconstrue the truth. So I’m trying to just take it slow and build up my confidence in myself and writing, and just reassuring myself that there’s people that want to hear my story and hear what I have to say.”
She adds, “I want to tell a story—my story—but a story that ends with someone entering the porn industry and being happy, and not that being their demise and what ruins their life, because I know that there’s a lot of people that are like me, that porn has saved their life, and porn has given them direction in their life and given them something to live for and something to be excited about and the freedom to do what they want in their life.
“There are positive stories, and they deserve to be told as well; stories that end with positivity and happiness that end in porn. So I want to tell a story like that and I’m gonna do my best and I am really excited for people to see that.”
As all indications would suggest, Jane professes that “eventually one day I would love to produce my own feature—cast everyone, write everything myself. But I know it’s daunting, like it’s not something that should be taken lightly, and it’s not something that I feel ready to do completely on my own for a while. I don’t know when I will, or if I ever will. But I’m not waiting for those types of things, I’m just going with whatever feels good for right now.”
That said, there is one thing—to hark back to that immortal line from Pulp Fiction—upon which Jane Wilde has her eyes set resolutely and unwaveringly: “I will win Performer of the Year before I die.
“Once that happens—if that happens—I will be so proud of myself. I’m already proud of myself, but I feel like that’s just the pinnacle of, like, you did everything right.
“Because I said when I got in this industry, I want to be a star, I want to be famous, I want to be like a legend in the industry. And I feel like winning that award kind of solidifies that. So yeah, that’s what I want.”
