Renner previouslyappeared on CNN’s New Year’s Eve broadcaston Sunday evening to speak with cohostsAnderson CooperandAndy Cohenabout hisroad to recoveryover the last year.
Then noting that he is also a “pretty stubborn S.O.B.,” the father of one continued, “There was a lot for me to fight for, and recovery was just a one-way road in my mind. My recovery became relief for me, because I knew I could give relief to my family, my daughter and all those that I really affected. And my poor nephew, who was there with me on that day, I gave him images that he can never unsee, but I know that my healing would be healing for him.”
“With that, I’d never thought about my own physical ailments, my own pain, or my own anguish,” he added. “I had so many things to fight for, so the one-way road of recovery was my mental, sort of, attitude, and that attitude was always to get better.”
“There’s no option other than that. And I still work at every part, every day, and thank God that I have a lot to fight for,” Renner also said.
