He was very similar to Dave Chappelle in that....I think when Chappelle was on Inside the Actor's Studio he said something about naming your own price in the beginning...and getting out when the cost is too much.

Patrice had this fear of having to owe. Basically he says that in show business, a lot of people are rewarded with certain things but it's rarely at face value. They always seem to come back and are able to take it away and he didn't want to be put in a position where the things he might have felt he earned could be taken away or compromised by being asked to do or say things he didn't necessarily agree with.

He talked about this in reference to Tracy Morgan and Mel Gibson. It's a bit hard to explain, it's best if you guys listen to the video itself.

Yea I tried to create this thread with this same link but couldnt get hardly any convo started. Patrice was dropping nothing but the truth. The story of how Hollywood works was so eye opening. He was one of the first ones to come to Dave's defense and understood why he walked away. Like @Raul said he did not want to owe and if Dave took that money he would have owed big time which is what a lot of people didnt understand.
