More quotes by 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.

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
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
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.

As a teenager, you have so much energy and hormones and you feel powerless in your life.
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.

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.

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.
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
I don't read my reviews, but I have a bunch of them and I will when I'm 80.
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
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
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
In the United States we have more women in poverty than any other industrialized nation.
Patricia Arquette
I think there can always be beauty in struggle.
Patricia Arquette
A lot of being an actor is being something that people imagine you to be.
Patricia Arquette
You want your partner to objectify you.
Patricia Arquette
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.
