Patrick Swayze
Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true.
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.
Patrick Swayze
I want you to be nice...until it's time to not be nice.
Patrick Swayze
