Women were victims. Their husbands could beat them up when they wanted to. They couldn't work. They could be maimed and killed by their husbands.

More quotes by 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
The first movie that I saw was Godzilla and I loved it.
Pam Grier
My family was very, very receptive to all all races, religions.
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
I like serious films, the moneymaking blockbusters that don't make any kind of sense and John Carpenter films.
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.

At the beginning, my ambition was never to break down doors. It was just to earn tuition for myself and work in an industry where women hadn't been allowed or invited. That's all I wanted to do, not thinking that I would make waves, change minds, excite people, incite people, turn on people, repulse people.

My mother really wanted me to be in possibly a beauty pageant, not only for if I could win, but it helped improve my self-image because of trauma in my childhood and other issues.
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
I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.
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've never considered myself to be beautiful, and I still don't.
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
It's the best honor when someone wants to use as their professional title the name of a character that you portrayed.
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
If you're stupid and you're arrogant, you're going to get hurt.
Pam Grier
Sex, action, special effects, and violence sell.
Pam Grier
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.
