Patricia Arquette: I'm Not a Medium

Emmy award winner Patricia Arquette knows a little something about the future -- or at least the character she plays on TV does.

On the CBS drama "Medium," Arquette plays a psychic whose visions help the Phoenix police department solve crimes.

Arquette's character is based on real-life psychic Allison DuBois, whom Arquette has met several times in person.

But does Arquette have any foresight like her character?

"All women have some of this," Arquette said.

However, she conceded that she probably doesn't have real psychic ability.

She joked, "I remember having a dream once that Al Gore won the presidency."

In addition to her work as an actress, Arquette is also devoted to work in Haiti. She's pitched in to help form the GiveLove Foundation, an organization that works to create housing for Haitians with discarded shipping containers, among other efforts.
