The Revelations Is An Amazing, Rich Material That Is Full Of Stories About Angels And Angels Being Sent Down To Earth To Wipe Out A Third Of The Population. There Are Angels That Come Down And Wipe Out A Third Of The Population And Then Another Angel Will Come Down And Wipe Out A Third Of All The Animals Living In The Sea And Another Angel Will Come Down And Wipe Out All The Vegetation On The Land. They Are Some Vengeful Individules, In Revelations, The Angels. There Is A Lot Of Destructive Capacity In An Angel's Being.

I Had A Moment When I First Got On Supernatural When I Was Like, Omg, People Are Paying Attention To Me And I Have Fans, Maybe I Should Cultivate An Image And Like Try To Seem Really Cool.

The Philosophical Underpinnings Of My Approach To Acting Are That There Are Universal Human Qualities, And That Every Character Is Actually Available Within Each One Of Us, That If We Tap Down Into That Universal Humanness, We Can Find Whatever Character It Is That We Need To Play Already There Within Ourselves, And It's Just A Matter Of Peeling Apart The Onion That Is You And Finding That Character Within You, Because Of This Universal Human Quality.
