More quotes by 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.

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
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
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
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.

I'm the only nerd with a piece of paper.
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
I grew up in a hippie commune so I have a real hippie part of me.
Patricia Arquette
The United States has more women and girls in prison than any other industrialized nation on earth.

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.
