"I found myself in a Bruce Willis Die Hard moment," he said, "where my arm — had a lovely white shirt on — and it just exploded into red. And, while I was taking that in, I got a bullet in my leg. So I quickly got myself on the floor to get a bullet in the butt as I was going down — and then another bullet, still another bullet grazed my head. So I just laid there in utter shock."

"My intention, once the bullets started flying, was to pretend, as I've learned from so many Second World War movies, that I was dead."

"To tell you the truth, I followed the bloodstains," he said.
