If there's a black cat that crosses the street in my path, I will turn around and walk 20 minutes out of my way to not cross it. You know how in New York there's a lot of scaffolding? I won't walk under scaffolding or under ladders. I wear things like a baseball player wears things that are supposed to have luck.

For most of my career I've been very lucky to have avoided major injuries.

I've broken my wrist, dislocated toes and shoulders, gotten stitches, you name it. However, the worst was a severely bruised femur. I got body checked into an open gate while playing hockey. The doctor couldn't believe I didn't shatter my femur.

I am extremely lucky; I've never been ill - although about 20 years ago I broke my right arm hang gliding.

I can no longer walk. I can no longer swim. But I'm lucky when I see how animals suffer.

The worst injury I ever had was a stress fracture from running.

I've had injuries in my life from things beyond my control: runaway horses, helicopters that decide to crash on mountaintops, boating accidents - things that were out of my hands.
