Patricia Arquette Quotations

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'm kind of the long-hauler type of person. I also have a strong work ethic and gratitude for people that I work with.

You always have to sign contracts for several years, if they want to pick you up. It's kind of a strange scenario. They have the option or not.

Television allows you to actually make a living, feed your children, send them to college and important significant things. To have the ability, the luxury, to make the choices of doing little movies where people cannot pay you.

It's important for me as an actor to be able to make a living.

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.

I'm excited about the state of women's spiritual life and interior life and who women are. I wish the political establishment would catch up, because we still don't have equal rights in America.

It's always beautiful to see people striving to grow.

I grew up with a lot of spirituality. It wasn't necessarily organized religion, because my mom was Jewish and my dad was Muslim. I went to Catholic school. There was a lot of conversation about comparative religions.

It's easy for people to come in when they think you're in a hot moment of your life, but it's really nice also for people who believe in your work for the long term and are there not when something hip's happening at that moment.
