More quotes by Pam Grier
At the beginning, my ambition was never to break down doors. It was just to earn tuition for myself and work in an industry where women hadn't been allowed or invited. That's all I wanted to do, not thinking that I would make waves, change minds, excite people, incite people, turn on people, repulse people.

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
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
You never know how people are going to respond.

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.

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 don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.
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
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
I'm not a total feminist, but I believe in rights for females.
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
My mother really wanted me to be in possibly a beauty pageant, not only for if I could win, but it helped improve my self-image because of trauma in my childhood and other issues.
Pam Grier
The first movie that I saw was Godzilla and I loved it.
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
I'm a big child at heart. I think it's important to stay that way and not lose the wonder of life.
