More quotes by Pam Grier
Coming from the '50s, things were very violent. We were still being lynched. If I drove down through the South with my mother, I might not make it through one state without being bullied or harassed. I feel like unless you've been black for a week, you don't know.

If you're stupid and you're arrogant, you're going to get hurt.

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
Does a black person make them an African American? No. There are Hispanics that are very, very dark skinned so the word has lost its meaning, it's not a very concise or proper word to use even today and it wasn't then.
Pam Grier
My family was very, very receptive to all all races, religions.
Pam Grier
I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.
Pam Grier
It's the best honor when someone wants to use as their professional title the name of a character that you portrayed.

Sex, action, special effects, and violence sell.
Pam Grier
I'm a big child at heart. I think it's important to stay that way and not lose the wonder of life.
Pam Grier
Driving a cab is not really a nurturing type of relationship. You take people and they tip you, they may not tip you, you don't know their names, they don't care about you, you don't care about them.
Pam Grier
I'm an Air force Brat and I've lived all over the world and this country and there were people in my community who were gay - nurses, hairdressers, designers - people who just had a different way about themselves.
Pam Grier
I felt beauty was a magnet for abuse, and I had suffered greatly for it.
