More quotes by Pam Grier
I like serious films, the moneymaking blockbusters that don't make any kind of sense and John Carpenter films.
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
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
When you are an actor, you bring a tool in your craft but you are not that person.
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.
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
If you're stupid and you're arrogant, you're going to get hurt.
Pam Grier
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
Coming from the '50s, things were very violent.
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
My family was very, very receptive to all all races, religions.
Pam Grier
As I get older, it's a time to enjoy life.
Pam Grier
Sometimes I'm a little Republican, sometimes I'm a little Democrat.
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.
Pam Grier
I've never considered myself to be beautiful, and I still don't.
Pam Grier
You can get hurt at any time.
Pam Grier
Sex, action, special effects, and violence sell.
Pam Grier
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
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
I like to do all kinds of films.
