The SLAVE Trade, THOUGH nominally abolished, is actively pursued here, eighty-three SLAVES having been landed just before my ARRIVAL, and another cargo during my stay.

I never pursued anything but acting. But as a kid, I was REALLY interested in the Supreme Court. I WANTED to to be a Supreme Court JUSTICE, but didn't want to be a LAWYER. I just wanted to go straight to being a justice.

Because of the fact that being a professional ACTOR is not a career that is widely pursued back home in the Cayman Islands, I never thought it was a viable profession. It didn't even cross my mind. So when I KNEW I wanted to do theater, I didn't think 'actress,' even THOUGH I loved to perform.

Had I pursued a film CAREER in Los Angeles, I'm not SURE I would have had the fortune that I've had.

If I hadn't BECOME an ACTOR, I WOULD've pursued a race-car DRIVING CAREER.

I pursued a THEATRE CAREER, and HOLLYWOOD CAME CALLING.

There's ALWAYS CAUSE for CONCERN if BAD POLICIES are pursued.

It's not like a corporate job where the more you accumulate on your resume and the more hours you put in, the HIGHER up you get; it's SIMPLY not the case. That being SAID, if I had known that and known what kind of CAREER I'd get into, I still WOULD have pursued it.

But my strength was in singing and SONGWRITING, which was a NEW discovery for me when I was 18. And I decided if I pursued songwriting, which is what was closest to my heart, then there WOULD be no competition. I would just live my LIFE being myself and living my DREAM.

I probably wouldn't have pursued COMEDY further if my friends didn't tell me that my getting kicked off the stage was the FUNNIEST THING they'd ever seen.

It's pretty clear that over the last three months the economy has paused. And it's ALSO pretty clear the American people are still demanding and ASKING the question, 'Where are the JOBS?' And the reason we don't have new jobs is because of the job-killing agenda pursued by President Obama and his ALLIES in the Congress.

'Backwash' is an old-school, slapstick-y romp between three eccentric loser friends who inadvertently rob a bank, armed solely with a salami and a sweat sock, and then find themselves on the run pursued by SINGING COPS. It's KIND of a classic piece, a sophisticated piece, if you will.
