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

I played college soccer before I was hurt, and just to be able to jump back into something that you could be so competitive at or you can achieve, to get to the Paralympics, that's the first really big achievement that you can have. It's the second biggest sporting event in the world. To be a part of it and to get a medal for that, it's unreal.

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.

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

I met Evan Rachel Wood, James Woods, Kevin Bacon at Sundance. Steve Buscemi is pretty laid-back. I met Judy Greer in Vegas, and she was cool.

There really isn't anything more refreshing then iced Coke out of the old-school glass bottles.

Just because we are in wheelchairs doesn't mean we can't play a fast-paced, full-contact sport.

I am lucky to live in Austin, so I can enjoy the live music.

I dream about running all the time.

For those of you who worry that I am a skinhead and anything that goes along with that, I am not.
