More quotes by Pam Grier
The first movie that I saw was Godzilla and I loved it.
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
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.

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
As I get older, it's a time to enjoy life.
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.

Sex, action, special effects, and violence sell.
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
If you're stupid and you're arrogant, you're going to get hurt.
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.
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
Sometimes I'm a little Republican, sometimes I'm a little Democrat.
Pam Grier
The African-American community is not monolithic. It's liberal and conservative.
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 felt beauty was a magnet for abuse, and I had suffered greatly for it.
Pam Grier
Coming from the '50s, things were very violent.
Pam Grier
I like to do all kinds of films.
Pam Grier
I do a movie once every four years and they call it a comeback.
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.
