There's this group online that I frequent. It's a group of prop crazies just like me called the Replica Props Forum, and it's people who trade, make and travel in information about movie props.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I steal props from 'SNL' a great deal. Almost every sketch I'm in, I try to grab something from it, so I have a storage space full of props.
It's a clique and I think a clique exists in every business. There's a circle of people that are guaranteed to open a movie and we all know their names and whether they're right or wrong for the role.
I spend a lot of time on forums, and they drive me crazy.
I developed a group of friends around me that were all as crazy as I was about wanting to make films.
It is always interesting being on films sets - I have done it before with other actor friends - and I just find it fascinating. I just love that collaborative film family that develops around a project.
I know people from working with them on films, but they're not the ones I would meet up with... I'm just a normal person!
I've got friends who are pyrotechnics who do big fire shows, so I'm really fascinated by that.
I keep a creative group around me.
I'm afraid I don't have a very pragmatic or unromantic view of props. I don't imbue them with any great sense of mystery or anything.
I know they call me a crazy lady, but I'm only interested in making movies and having people see them.
