Patrick Swayze's quotes
- Good-looking people turn me off. Myself included.
- [on having achieved some success with various anti-cancer treatments] I'm a miracle, dude.
- I'm still fine to work, I haven't changed - oh, I have changed, what am I saying? It's a battle-zone I go through. Chemo, no matter how you cut it, is hell on wheels.
- [on accepting a continuing role in the series The Beast (2009)] How do you nurture a positive attitude when all the statistics say you're a dead man? You go to work.
- Five years is pretty wishful thinking ... two years seems likely if you're going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I'd better get a fire under it. (January 2009)
- [on having terminal cancer] I've had more lifetimes than any 10 people put together, and it's been an amazing ride...So this (dying) is O.K.
- Ooh, I don't know ... I will go so far as to say probably smoking had something to do with my pancreatic cancer.
- I got completely fed up with that Hollywood blockbuster mentality. I couldn't take it seriously any longer.
- I had a lot of anger because I wasn't happy with the way I had been raised. Our mother made us feel that we were never good enough. If I did anything, I had to be the best because that's what my mother expected of me. It was hard to deal with.
- My treatments are working and I am winning the battle. I am juicing every day along with other treatments and all I can say is that it's working fine and really well. I'm a miracle, dude, I don't know why. (July 2008)
- Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive disease and from the moment I was diagnosed, I knew I was in for the fight of my life.
- Am I dying? Am I giving up? Am I on my death bed? Am I saying goodbye to people? No way. I keep dreaming of a future, a future with a long and healthy life, not lived in the shadow of cancer but in the light.
