Robert Patrick might be a Hollywood star, but the TERMINATOR actor says he prefers nights at home with his wife over industry parties.
“I sort of stick to my lane. I sort of do what I do,” he told Fox News. “I’m not big on going out to Hollywood parties. I don’t really like going to premieres. I don’t like all that stuff.”
Patrick continued, “I just rather sit at home, be with my wife and my dogs. And maybe that’s all working in my favor. I don’t know. But there’s nothing I’m really chasing. I’m pretty content and happy with what I’ve got and who I’ve got around me.”
The actor, who also shared that he’s a devout Episcopalian who attends church every Sunday, talked about his marriage, as well. Patrick has been married to Barbara Patrick for over three decades.
“My wife is just great. She’s the one for me and I love her dearly. I revere her, I respect the **** out of her. She’s a great gal. She’s been there with me when I had nothing,” Patrick said. “We’re best friends, we lean on each other, we totally trust each other, and it’s just a great relationship.”
The actor spoke further about his marriage in a 2025 interview with PEOPLE, saying, “I think love and trust and support, and just real honesty between people [is the most important part of a marriage].”
“I think that’s probably the best grounding you can have, a foundation for a marriage. You’ve got to have trust,” he continued.
In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Patrick spoke about what his years in the industry have taught him.
“Every time you are working on an actor, you are growing. Every time you work, you are experiencing something,” he explained. “In the different levels of budgets that I have worked in…big movies, big streaming things like Tim Sheridan’s 1923 and TULSA KING and then you do the low budget…It’s all the same and yet, it’s not. In big budget, there’s more time, there’s more this and more that. Lower budget is a little more stressful. You don’t have time. It’s not as comfortable. It’s a little more of gunning and running and you have to be adaptable and amiable to all these different situations.”
Patrick continued, “But I think they all infuse you as an artist and an actor and makes you prepared for more and more different situations as time goes by…the more variety and the more different things that you do as an actor, gives you more confidence for different situations and different things that you are going to have to go through as an artist.”
Patrick’s decades in the entertainment industry have taught him that family is more important than “chasing” fame.
