I tell actresses, If you're too tall, if you're too fat, you're not going to work. I don't care how talented you are. It's a business, and sex sells.

More quotes by Pam Grier
I love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people.
Pam Grier
I felt beauty was a magnet for abuse, and I had suffered greatly for it.
Pam Grier
I do a movie once every four years and they call it a comeback.

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
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 will not be on this planet. I may come back in another form, and you know, I'll come back as a white man.

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.

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 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
My family was very, very receptive to all all races, religions.
Pam Grier
As I get older, it's a time to enjoy life.
Pam Grier
When you are an actor, you bring a tool in your craft but you are not that person.
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
Sex, action, special effects, and violence sell.
Pam Grier
I like to do all kinds of films.
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
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'm an Air force Brat and I've lived all over the world and this country and there were people in my community who were gay - nurses, hairdressers, designers - people who just had a different way about themselves.
Pam Grier
I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.
