“I figure I’m going to do [porn] for four or five more years and then quit,” she said. “I’ve been pretty good with my money. … My focus is save, save, save. After this, I’d like to maybe open my own business – and have enough saved that even if that didn’t go right, I’d be ok.”
Jane planned to go into business and revealed plans to broaden her horizons. However, she revealed plans to continue to work in the industry, promises that she kept.
She said, “When I retire [from acting], I will have spent 11 or 12 years of my life doing this,” she says. “I go to all the business shows with [Digital Playground] so I can learn. … I think you can never leave.”
