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. ↗

And that's why he's in for the fight of his life. ↗

Look how many millions of people are underemployed or have lost their jobs. The last thing I'm going to do is play politics with their future. ↗
