Pam Grier
I've never considered myself to be beautiful, and I still don't.

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.

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 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.
Pam Grier
I do a movie once every four years and they call it a comeback.
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 not a total feminist, but I believe in rights for females.
Pam Grier
I wanted to be in film. I wanted to be a film student, possibly be a director or cinematographer, not an actor. That was my goal. I didn't believe I had the physical beauty that I'd seen projected and advertised in movies, in theater. It just wasn't for me.
Pam Grier
I'm in film school, so I really have to sock away my money for school, tuition, and so on, and I really don't have time.
