Transcript

So I'm falling, I'm berating myself, I have no idea what's happening, and I hear the sound of gunfire, the small round holes, and before I hit the ground, the thought that runs through my head is: small round holes, sound of gunfire, me falling stupidly, I must be getting shot. And the thought that runs through my head then is: "Derrick, don't be too hard on yourself, because if you're getting shot, it's quite acceptable to fall over." That is literally what I thought. As I say, it's thinking outside the square while still doing everything you need to do.
