[on being paralyzed] There was definitely a sense of tragedy for me but also a sense of sheer determination to beat it and better it. Having a positive mental attitude means everything. I also think that if you're positive about your disability then it can help you live with it.

[on his accident] My first thought was, 'Don't ring Mum and Dad, I don't want them to worry'. I hit the wall and then landed on the crash mat underneath. My stunt coordinator grabbed my hand and said, 'Squeeze my fingers'. I could move my arm to grab his hand, but I couldn't squeeze his fingers. I looked into his eyes, and that's when I realised what happened was major.
