Pam Grier
The first movie that I saw was Godzilla and I loved it.
Pam Grier
And as I reinvent myself and I'm constantly curious about everything, I can't wait to see what's around the corner in newfound art and entertainment and exploration.
Pam Grier

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
You can get hurt at any time.
Pam Grier
If you're stupid and you're arrogant, you're going to get hurt.
Pam Grier
Coming from the '50s, things were very violent.
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.
