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
There are a lot of parts of who I am that no one in the public has ever known, but the older I've gotten, the more I've appreciated my own strange little self and come to terms with that.
Patricia Arquette
I find that men are far more vain than women.
Patricia Arquette
Of course, a lot of courtship and dating is about sexual attraction. If you're an attractive person, you have that sort of interest from people, whether you cater to it or not, but when you get older, that's not really the leading thing anymore.
Patricia Arquette
I think there can always be beauty in struggle.
Patricia Arquette
As a teenager, you have so much energy and hormones and you feel powerless in your life.
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
The good news is that we have a very active part of America that wants some radical progress.
