More quotes by Pam Grier
I do a movie once every four years and they call it a comeback.
Pam Grier
I like to do all kinds of 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.
Pam Grier
But I just loved looking at the clothes of the '70s.
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 love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people.
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.
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
I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.
Pam Grier
My family was very, very receptive to all all races, religions.
Pam Grier
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.
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
If you're stupid and you're arrogant, you're going to get hurt.
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
You can get hurt at any time.
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
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 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.
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.
Pam Grier
You never know how people are going to respond.
