More quotes by 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
Mothering is one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.
Patricia Arquette
In the United States we have more women in poverty than any other industrialized nation.
Patricia Arquette
I find that men are far more vain than women.
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.

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.

The United States has more women and girls in prison than any other industrialized nation on earth.

When the woman is getting paid drastically less than the male, that whole family is impacted.

I think there can always be beauty in struggle. I mean, as far as childbirth, I had my son in the hospital, but then I had my daughter at home. There's no doubt that there's a struggling in birth, and a beauty and a horror and fear and joy too.
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
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
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 no doubt that there's a struggling in birth, and a beauty and a horror and fear and joy too.
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
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
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.

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.
Patricia Arquette
The way your parents try to talk to you about politics and pull you to their side, that's an exciting moment in your family.
Patricia Arquette
Hippy people had a hopeful idea of what they wanted the world to be like, then most of them changed into corporate Yuppies. But I still have that hippy thing underneath somewhere.
