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.

I felt beauty was a magnet for abuse, and I had suffered greatly for it.

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
I've never considered myself to be beautiful, and I still don't.
Pam Grier
I'm in film school, so I really have to sock away my money for school, tuition, and so on, and I really don't have time.
Pam Grier
Sex, action, special effects, and violence sell.
Pam Grier
Let's start working towards wellness, a healing in our community, a healing in relationships, so male and female can finally sit down and understand that that young boy or young girl saw behavior exhibited by their parents that was negative and abusive and they're going to pass it on.
Pam Grier
I like to do all kinds of films.
Pam Grier
You never know how people are going to respond.
Pam Grier
I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.
Pam Grier
I do a movie once every four years and they call it a comeback.

I'm not a total feminist, but I believe in rights for females.
