"As the plane gained altitude, I looked out into the open sky and made a deal with God, in case there was a God.  'If I'm gonna die in jail, then do me in now.  Get it over wit'.  Keep the chute closed.'"
     p. 154, Tough Guy/Unlocked

"To this day, I'm sure I was dead.  I came back to life lying in the street, spitting blood and teeth.  I was 10 or 15 feet from my car, which was now a smoking heap of twisted steel.  There were scraps of metal, broken plastic, and antifreeze puddles.  Glass sparkled in the street and was stuck in my clothes."
