More quotes by 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
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.

You can get hurt at any time.

Pam Grier
Women were victims. Their husbands could beat them up when they wanted to. They couldn't work. They could be maimed and killed by their husbands.
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
But I just loved looking at the clothes of the '70s.
Pam Grier
I really hate to see abusive behavior being passed on from generation to generation to generation, when we have access to health and counseling.
Pam Grier
The first movie that I saw was Godzilla and I loved it.
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
I'm not a total feminist, but I believe in rights for females.

I do a movie once every four years and they call it a comeback.
