The biggest influences in Patrick's life, his wife and his mother, and when we sat down to talk, I asked him about both, tell me about your mother, she taught you to dance, yes, yes, and she taught me what the meaning of Discipline, you know in a good way. that you can't walk through life, you know that you can't expect things to be handed to you on a silver platter, that you have to work for it and be worthy, but when you were little and your mother said: I'm going to accept you and put you in the studio dance in Texas little kids didn't dance, no, ma'am, okay, how did you feel about that?
Well, I started so young, no, no, I didn't know, I mean, I'm looking, look at everything. the other kids were doing it and wanted to do it, you know? So I have pictures of me in sailor suits and tap shoes from when I was knee high as a grasshopper and people tell me it was a little scary when my mom was trying to teach me, I was hanging from the bars pinching the girls. and stuff, and at the age of four to eight, I guess, or actually probably four to 18, he was still pinching girls at 18, well, I thought he was Mr.
Casanova, you know, out of insecurity, tell me about your father, here was your mother in the dance studio, she wanted me to kick her in the dance, how did your father feel about that? I always felt that on some level she was very afraid of him, even though he knew otherwise. He was afraid of turning me gay. He was still, you know, because he, you know, was a Texas cowboy. I am part of it. I didn't understand these things when you lived in Texas, yeah, okay, and the other kids are attacking you. You know how to play this sport, whatever it is, football, baseball and you have your ballet shoes and your tights, have you ever had to prove that you are a real Texas kid?
I am honest in one way or another. I've spent my life proving that I was hit over and over again when I was little and that wasn't very good and then began a whole process of learning what it means that I'm a ballet dancer with a chip on my shoulder. What's happening? Know? And then I woke up one day and realized I was becoming what I hated. When was this about 20 years after I had gone to New York, so I went to New York and it was the male? You know, that's all that made me a macho ballet dancer yeah, I'm not like the rest of you yeah, yeah, when did dancing become a passion?
When I really committed to being a dancer was when the doctors of the world and my mother told me I couldn't do it after they destroyed my knee for a few years. I had surgery after a year because there is a bad man three four years, yes, yes, and I kept dancing and I kept dancing, so even though everyone sees you, he sees you as an excellent dancer and a dirty dancer. You know it's hard that you really can't do everything so easily. No no. I become a master of compensation. If you watch me in slow motion, you'll see me take everything.
I put all my weight on that right leg those years in New York what was the worst moment I kept going to the doctors and found out I had a staph infection I had to go to the hospital and they had a week to try to save my leg and if not They saved in a week they would have to take it off his hip and the biggest thing the knee did was I thought all it was was knowing with this dancer, the dancer, the athlete who did it. the machine not a person ah said that it changed you that you had always thought in your game that you were the body and now maybe there was a mind that I had to discover until that moment I was afraid to look inside for fear that I would not find anything, you know that they would put my fears would be demonstrated, right, the dance is over, the performance begins, you come here, your first movie that caused a lot of attention with skate town USA, right, and you.
I got that review saying it's the sexiest thing since Travolta and then Valentino Valentino and so on, and then not much. I deliberately disappeared and walked away because, as you know, it just scared me because it was kind of like teen idol and teen magazines. They were jumping on me and offered me a four-picture deal on six other movies and I thought you can't do it. I did not do it. I hadn't been studying my whole life to throw it down the drain by becoming a face. What I was afraid of was that I had a face and a pair of skinny jeans anyway, yes, and I was willing to trust that with enough study and enough growth and enough connection with myself and the truth in me to be able to become a worthy actor. to be considered. with an actor with respect, you don't know a personality, but what courage you turn around and say: I'm going to become a real actor, really and that takes a lot of guts, it's like something my manager said: most people He comes to Los Angeles and leaves. the plane and that's the best thing they've ever had and Lisa and I have had the passion to not let that happen so tell me about Lisa uh she's literally my creative partner it feels like there's a real power between us, it feels like there's a real chemistry like we're soulmates if you believe in that kind of thing we knew each other before and we got together in another life, there's an intense passion because our fights are huge and our love is huge, no, this. big hit Dirty Dancing Did you know that Dirty Dancing was going to be the big breakthrough?
No, i did not know. They advised me not to do it. Why did I just do it by reading it if you didn't really look back between the lines, you were just a sexy dancer, yeah, it was a cute little movie, you know, so why did you do it? I felt something for Johnny, a street boy, a castle, yes, a street boy who is struggling to be liked. to believe in himself to believe that he could be something more than what society will allow him or what mom and dad taught him he could be or whatever you know um I just felt like I could do something with this guy why do you think ? people have to say it five times 10 times 20 times there is a club of more than 100 for dirty dancing women who have seen it in theaters, not on video, in theaters more than a hundred times why does everyone dream that someone would see another world only legal with that to see beyond the exterior and see what they really are, they may not be the prettiest people in the world, but it is important for someone to see beyond that and care about them as people and I think that is the most important thing that this film communicates, it is a relationship not because you know how someone moves their butt, but because of what is inside today, do you have a philosophy with which you live passion, quality, integrity and the things that my mom and dad They taught me about being a southern gentleman?
Patrick, your father died in 1982, this year. I read it was terribly difficult for you it wasn't just something you could accept uh I had done it mm I love that man that guy you caught me off guard his fire uh my dad and my manager Bob LeMond the two most important men in my life are dead and I did it after my father died my passion No, then I was going to make that man proud of me until he died everything he wanted for me everything I dreamed of no you never got to meet her Charlie Pratt oh Jesus Well, that was his problem, he thought crime was weak, yeah, the Texas mentality, have you made him proud?
Do you believe? I think so. I think the only thing I really wish he had known, since he never got to know that, he never got to know that at least and I understand that. In this horse business and everything, I always had a dream of buying a ranch and, uh, he would fall asleep, you know, and part of my passion for horses is, honey, my father. I can't think of any more wonderful loving compliment than you. could give it the way you feel like you know the person who hasn't seen Dirty Dancing, whoever it is and who doesn't know Patrick Swayze when he met you tonight for the first time, what do you want them to know about you guys?
This problem is wanting to be liked, so I'm a good actor, I'm someone to be reckoned with, I can give people something through my work, they see you, you know, they make their lives lighter. a moment or inspired or passionate about who they are and feeling good about themselves and I can definitely shake my butt with you
