I've never been one to run from a challenge.

Look at it! It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, man! Let me go out there and let me get one wave, just one wave before you take me in. I mean, come on man, where I am I gonna go? Cliffs on both sides! I'm not gonna paddle my way to New Zealand! Come on, compadre. Come on!

What winning is to me is not giving up, is no matter what's thrown at me, I can take it. And I can keep going.

My work... is my legacy.

Good-looking people turn me off. Myself included.

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'm not afraid of death. I'm going home.
