Many attempts had been made by colonial legislatures to cut off or to tax the importation of slaves.
I used to be a classic workaholic, and after seeing how little work and career really mean when you reach the end of your life, I put a new emphasis on things I believe count more. These things include: family, friends, being part of a community, and appreciating the little joys of the average day.
I was never one of those people who thought, 'What I really want to do is direct.' It never occurred to me.
