"I don't remember it at all and I think the brain does that to protect itself. I know there is video out there of me falling but I can't look at it. It wouldn't be good for me."

He ɑlso spoke ɑbout hiѕ disappointment ԝith ALDA's response to the incident:

"If you come to my house and slip and break an arm, I will call you and see how you are doing. But with these guys, no way, it goes to tell you about the characters of the people involved."
