We have states that are throwing away the DNA of rapists. How can a woman be so inconsequential, that we as a nation aren't standing up and doing something about this intimate, violent act?
Patricia Arquette
There's a ripple effect in being underpaid for women. Ten thousand women are turned down every day for domestic abuse shelters. Part of domestic abuse is often economic suppression the male might take your paycheck every week and never give you money or allow you to work because he's too jealous.
Patricia Arquette
It's going to take from 40 to 118 years for the pay gap to close for women if we just go along with the status quo, so we need some serious, radical change.

When I talk to different lawmakers, I'm trying to get them to reach across the aisle. There's legislation out there that would be helpful for women and families, but like with the Paycheck Fairness Act, legislation has been on the floor many times, and voted down many times. It's something we need to get passed already.

I'm the only nerd with a piece of paper.

When the woman is getting paid drastically less than the male, that whole family is impacted.
Patricia Arquette
I was a single mom at 20. A lot of choices came out of that. I've seen a lot of my friends be in relationships they didn't want to be in because they couldn't leave.
Patricia Arquette
To be a woman in law enforcement on television, I think, is sort of important. It's a powerful position for a woman to be in, but also to be looking at these new technologies, exploring these new technologies.
Patricia Arquette
There's no doubt that there's a struggling in birth, and a beauty and a horror and fear and joy too.
Patricia Arquette
Mothering is one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.
Patricia Arquette
Older homeless people are more likely to be women, because they don't have pensions and they are caretakers, so they withdraw from the workforce and end up having no pension if their husband leaves them, so the whole thing is just a nightmare.
Patricia Arquette
A six year old can probably do more on their iPad than you can do and access more. My daughter's swiping away windows and doing all these things that I don't know how to do.
Patricia Arquette
What I did find out because I grew up with a lot of chaos early on: sometimes, you're born into a family, and their norm is already in your red zone of dangerous feeling or feeling too chaotic. You don't get to really do anything about that when you're a kid.
Patricia Arquette
Part of what I love about getting older is realizing that there's something perfect in the imperfection. It's all very human.
Patricia Arquette
There's tens of millions of families with single mothers who are living at 100 to 200 percent below the poverty level and these are not women that are on welfare, these are working women. How different would there life be if they're making an extra 40 to 60 cents to the dollar. We can't do this to our kids anymore.
Patricia Arquette
Love is a vulnerable thing. Falling in love is like a great drug. But then to really be known and really let someone else be known is very vulnerable. It's a weird thing.
Patricia Arquette
The United States has more women and girls in prison than any other industrialized nation on earth.
Patricia Arquette
