"It makes me forget that I'm not going to be a major star and lead female in films whether it was 20 years ago, 10 years ago, five or in the future"

Pam Grier's quote speaks with the power of her craft as a starlet. She is expressing her appreciation for the capability of acting to transfer her far from the reality of her career. She acknowledges that she might not have been, or might not be, a major star or lead female in films, however that does not stop her from taking pleasure in the art of acting. She is able to forget the truth of her career and immerse herself in the characters she plays. Her quote talks to the power of art to offer an escape from truth, and to the strength of an artist who continues to pursue their craft in spite of the chances.
