More quotes by Patricia Arquette
I find that men are far more vain than women.
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
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
I grew up in a hippie commune so I have a real hippie part of me.
Patricia Arquette
Television allows you to actually make a living, feed your children, send them to college and important significant things. To have the ability, the luxury, to make the choices of doing little movies where people cannot pay you.
Patricia Arquette
I'm very grateful to have my kids in my life they're my greatest teachers. But to pretend it's always easy is just not really true.
Patricia Arquette
In the United States we have more women in poverty than any other industrialized nation.
Patricia Arquette
I don't have a goal but I just want to work on movies that I really like.
Patricia Arquette
It's important for me as an actor to be able to make a living.
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
I don't read my reviews, but I have a bunch of them and I will when I'm 80.
Patricia Arquette
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
I worry about women globally. When we talk about having a presidential candidate who would tear up the Paris accords, who doesn't believe in global warming, we know that poor women and children are going to be the most vulnerable when we start seeing rapid effects of global warming.
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
I know that I've had a very fortunate life, but also I think my job as an actor is to connect emotionally to human beings.
Patricia Arquette
When the woman is getting paid drastically less than the male, that whole family is impacted.
Patricia Arquette
The number-one reason women say they returned to their abuser is financial insecurity. Often they have kids with them. They say half of the 66 million women and kids living in poverty in the US wouldn't be if women were just paid their full dollar. That's an enormous impact we could make on child hunger.
Patricia Arquette
There's something I really like about network TV. You have this humongous audience, tens of millions of people, and you really can be in a little hut in Thailand you really can be in the middle of an apartment in Dubai. There's something about public entertainment that I always liked. I like smaller movies, and I like public entertainment.
Patricia Arquette
If you emote in your performances, people feel connected to you as an emotional person, because that's how we communicate. That doesn't mean people know you. At a certain point, I think you have to just be your own self.
Patricia Arquette
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.
