I wanted to be in film. I wanted to be a film student, possibly be a director or cinematographer, not an actor. That was my goal. I didn't believe I had the physical beauty that I'd seen projected and advertised in movies, in theater. It just wasn't for me.

I tell actresses, If you're too tall, if you're too fat, you're not going to work. I don't care how talented you are. It's a business, and sex sells.
Pam Grier
Image
And as I reinvent myself and I'm constantly curious about everything, I can't wait to see what's around the corner in newfound art and entertainment and exploration.
Pam Grier
Image
I will not be on this planet. I may come back in another form, and you know, I'll come back as a white man.
Pam Grier
Image
I was able to be distant by portraying another person, another character, if you will, and I found myself not stuttering and not having anxiety attacks when I was portraying another soul, another being, and I found comfort in that. I think many actors do, playing someone other than themselves.

The first movie that I saw was Godzilla and I loved it.
