I got completely fed up with that Hollywood blockbuster mentality. I couldn't take it seriously any longer.

What's powerful about a love scene is not seeing the act. It's seeing the passion, the need, the desire, the caring, the fear.

When you are a pit bull, and you love what you do and you are going to continue to grow, that talent will find its way out.

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.

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.

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

I keep my heart and my soul and my spirit open to miracles.
