Patrick Swayze reminded me a lot of Gene Kelly. Patrick had that Everyman quality. Gene made dancing sort of an accessible idea for the regular guy out there.

I heard recently that I used to date Patrick Swayze.

'Dirty Dancing' is one of my favorite movies, and I was in love with Patrick Swayze for years, but I tried to stay out of his way and never to meet him because I knew if I did, he'd want to talk about yogurt or some weird dietary restriction or something.

Steve Martin is a legendary actor and a wonderful person to work with. He's incredibly well prepared, and funny off the set.

I learned how to deal with people with elegance from Patrick Swayze.

Martin Sheen was extraordinary. He's a very gifted man.

Steve Martin is one of my favorite performers, writers, artists of all time.

I've known Shawn for several years. And he's just an amazing talent. He's a great writer, a marvelous, marvelous guitar player, and plays really good fiddle.
