More quotes by Pam Grier
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
If you're stupid and you're arrogant, you're going to get hurt.
Pam Grier
I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.
Pam Grier
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.
Pam Grier
The first movie that I saw was Godzilla and I loved it.
Pam Grier
My grandfather was the first feminist in my life. He taught me if a woman can do something, a man will respect her.

Women were victims. Their husbands could beat them up when they wanted to. They couldn't work. They could be maimed and killed by their husbands.
Pam Grier
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.
Pam Grier
I'm just going to try to do the best work at whatever I'm going to be, and I don't think I'm going to be an actress.
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.
Pam Grier
My family was very, very receptive to all all races, religions.
Pam Grier
I really hate to see abusive behavior being passed on from generation to generation to generation, when we have access to health and counseling.
Pam Grier
Women are allowed more freedoms and we're fighting for more freedoms, we're experiencing more freedoms won.
Pam Grier
Out of necessity comes genius.
Pam Grier
When you come from an environment that's military, and they don't stress that topic of aesthetics or beauty pageants and makeup, there are a lot of things you just don't have that city girls have. Or the country girl who goes to movies and dreams of going to Hollywood as an actress.
Pam Grier
But I just loved looking at the clothes of the '70s.
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
I love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people.
Pam Grier
Struggle and survival, losing and winning, doesn't matter. It's entering the race that counts. You enter, you can win, you can lose .... but it's all about entering the race.
