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.

More quotes by 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
But I just loved looking at the clothes of the '70s.
Pam Grier
I've never considered myself to be beautiful, and I still don't.
Pam Grier
You can get hurt at any time.

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
When you are an actor, you bring a tool in your craft but you are not that person.
Pam Grier
Me, sexy? I'm just plain ol' beans and rice.

I love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people.

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.
Pam Grier
I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.
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
The first movie that I saw was Godzilla and I loved it.
Pam Grier
Women are allowed more freedoms and we're fighting for more freedoms, we're experiencing more freedoms won.
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 like to do all kinds of films.
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
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
Sex, action, special effects, and violence sell.
