More quotes by 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 like to do all kinds of films.

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.

Sex, action, special effects, and violence sell.
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.

Out of necessity comes genius.

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
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
It's the best honor when someone wants to use as their professional title the name of a character that you portrayed.
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 not a total feminist, but I believe in rights for females.
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'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've never considered myself to be beautiful, and I still don't.
Pam Grier
Women are allowed more freedoms and we're fighting for more freedoms, we're experiencing more freedoms won.
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
My grandfather was the first feminist in my life. He taught me if a woman can do something, a man will respect her.
