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.

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
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
I do a movie once every four years and they call it a comeback.
Pam Grier
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.
Pam Grier
When you are an actor, you bring a tool in your craft but you are not that person.
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
You never know how people are going to respond.
Pam Grier
It's the best honor when someone wants to use as their professional title the name of a character that you portrayed.
