I love the work, I love being in front of the camera and working with actors and directors and creating something. For me, it's like learning everyday.

I wanted to build up a little nest egg and go back to L.A. and choose roles that I wanted to do instead of roles that I had to do to pay the bills.

I kept my clothes on. I borrowed money.

I think acting is definitely the most fulfilling, because it's the most challenging in my mind.

For so long I focused on all that I had lost - my legs, my anonymity, even my freedom in a way. I couldn't jump in the car, blast some music and just get away for a bit. I couldn't play basketball with my brothers. I couldn't even get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom without making it some sort of production.

I found it tough to follow an athlete's lifestyle. But soon, it became a part of my life, and I embraced it.

I don't have a high-powered life out of work. I like to go to the country for the weekend with the kids and the dog and play tennis. I am very good at turning off.

I've always called L.A. 'the world capital of sport.'
