More quotes by Pam Grier
Women are allowed more freedoms and we're fighting for more freedoms, we're experiencing more freedoms won.
Pam Grier
I'm not a total feminist, but I believe in rights for females.
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.
Pam Grier
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
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 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
The African-American community is not monolithic. It's liberal and conservative.
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
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
I love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people.
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
It's the best honor when someone wants to use as their professional title the name of a character that you portrayed.
Pam Grier
I like serious films, the moneymaking blockbusters that don't make any kind of sense and John Carpenter films.
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 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
Out of necessity comes genius.
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
As I get older, it's a time to enjoy life.
Pam Grier
But I just loved looking at the clothes of the '70s.
