I felt beauty was a magnet for abuse, and I had suffered greatly for it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
But I just loved looking at the clothes of the '70s.

Image
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.

Sometimes I'm a little Republican, sometimes I'm a little Democrat.

When you are an actor, you bring a tool in your craft but you are not that person.

You can get hurt at any time.

It's the best honor when someone wants to use as their professional title the name of a character that you portrayed.

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