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'm a big child at heart. I think it's important to stay that way and not lose the wonder of life.
Pam Grier
My family was very, very receptive to all all races, religions.
