Speaking to Let's Talk today, Patrick says he has a love for learning different things while indulging in his competitive side:

''An enthusiasm for learning different things and curiosity in general, I would have read a lot when I was younger, it gives you an opportunity to look at different areas and try to learn about different things. The competition is another side of it, another opportunity to compete in a different field, I would have played a lot of sport and still do, a lot of it is trying to cover a broad a range of things as possible.''
