Focus on what you want to do, don't be scared to try stuff. You only live once. You gotta take risks at times

You break your neck, you don't know what's going to happen. I mean, it's foreign. You're in this body that you thought you were - that you were accustomed to, and now you're not. You have to figure out everything. I think the biggest thing for me was getting a license, because it gives you - it gives you your independence back.

Breaking my neck was the best thing that ever happened to me. I have an Olympic medal. I've been to so many countries I would never have been, met so many people I would never have met. I've done more in the chair, ... than a whole hell of a lot of people who aren't in chairs.

People aren't familiar with wheelchair sports. The only film crew in Athens for the Paralympics was the documentary crew.

With all the traveling and promotion I've been doing for 'Murderball,' its been difficult keeping up with my rugby training.

We're normal people. Don't be scared because we are in a chair. People don't understand that. They think, 'Oh, a wheelchair, something's wrong with their heads, something's just not right.' Well yeah, we may be a little twisted, but no more than anyone else.
