More quotes by 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.

I don't have a goal but I just want to work on movies that I really like.
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
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.

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.

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.

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.

I don't read my reviews, but I have a bunch of them and I will when I'm 80.
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 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
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
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.
Patricia Arquette
It's important for me as an actor to be able to make a living.
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
A lot of being an actor is being something that people imagine you to be.

The United States has more women and girls in prison than any other industrialized nation on earth.
Patricia Arquette
I find that men are far more vain than women.
Patricia Arquette
In the United States we have more women in poverty than any other industrialized nation.
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
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.
