Patrick Swayze

“There are people who want me to do a cologne. They want to call it 'Patrick.' I was offered a fortune to make exercise videos. Posters, all kinds of stuff - something like $10 million worth. It's insanity. I'm not going to do any of it.”

“I like to believe that I've got a lot of guardian warriors sittin' on my shoulder including my dad.”

“To be honest, I've made a game out of trying to live through my James Dean, Janis Joplin, Freddie Prinze, Jim Morrison period, those demons that we all have that we're either successful or not at making work for us rather than destroy us.”

“I don't want to be Mr. Romantic Leading Man. I don't want to be the Dance Dude. I don't want to be the Action Guy. If I had to do any one of those all my life, it'd drive me crazy.”

“You know, I am a Leo. Lion is a giant part of me.”

“When it looks like I may live longer than five minutes I'll drop cigarettes like a hot potato.”
