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 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
I'm a big child at heart. I think it's important to stay that way and not lose the wonder of life.
Pam Grier
Out of necessity comes genius.
Pam Grier
Let's start working towards wellness, a healing in our community, a healing in relationships, so male and female can finally sit down and understand that that young boy or young girl saw behavior exhibited by their parents that was negative and abusive and they're going to pass it on.

Coming from the '50s, things were very violent.
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
When you are an actor, you bring a tool in your craft but you are not that person.
Pam Grier
I like serious films, the moneymaking blockbusters that don't make any kind of sense and John Carpenter films.
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.
