Zitat des Tages von Pam Grier:
Me, sexy? I'm just plain ol' beans and rice.
I am really blessed and very grateful for it.
My family was very, very receptive to all; all races, religions.
I came from poverty and was part of those circumstances.
Well who's black and what is a black person?
I love working with a lot of different films and a lot of different people.
But I just loved looking at the clothes of the '70s.
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.
It's always fun to put on bell bottoms and have your butt hanging out and hip huggers.
I thought I would be Sheena of the Jungle as a little girl.
That's what he was saying, the civil rights movement - judge me for my character, not how black my skin is, not how yellow my skin is, how short I am, how tall or fat or thin; It's by my character.
I love the hip-hop nation.
My people were homesteading in Colorado before Emancipation.
Women are allowed more freedoms and we're fighting for more freedoms, we're experiencing more freedoms won.
I don't know how I did it, but I worked 7 days a week.
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.
You can be on top of everything, and the next minute, you're going to be on the bottom.
Well, thank you and that's for them, but for me, I want to look back at a body of work where when you do the research and you explore the psyche of a character, where she's been, where she is and where she's going.
I don't believe that I should just do A-movies, I just do the work as an artist.
I like serious films, the moneymaking blockbusters that don't make any kind of sense and John Carpenter films.
Today, many people are engaging in same sex relationships and saying they are not gay.
Each time you do a film you gain a lot of experience and build a visual resume where people get to know who you are.
I grew up in a family where we weren't allowed to talk about beauty or to put any emphasis on physical appearance.
The first movie that I saw was Godzilla and I loved it.
I've never considered myself to be beautiful, and I still don't.
Oh, there's going to be debate because you're dealing with the Bible and religion is supposed to be separate from state and that to me is already a conflict before it even hits the gay issue.
There are just certain realities about our world and I just happen to be creative within it.
I like to do all kinds of films.
