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
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
I find that men are far more vain than women.
