Patrick Swayze Quotes:
- Good looking people turn me off. Myself included.
- "If you live through the initial stage of fame and get past it, and remember that’s not who you are.....if you live past that, then you have a hope of maybe learning how to spell the word artist."
- Explaining why he went 'off the rails' when DIRTY DANCING fame took off: "The way to screw up somebody's life is to give them what they want."
- Talking about his alcoholism after the initial fame of his part in DIRTY DANCING: "I would be dead if it weren't for Lisa [his wife], on many more levels than drinking. I have a wild-man edge. If my life looks good, I sabotage it. With Lisa, I don't even get a chance to go too far into stupidity."
