I literally heard, \u2018We\u2019re losing the light.\u2019 I heard, \u2018Action.\u2019 And I woke up at Bellevue [Hospital]. It hit me in the face and it threw me into a curb.

Cohen noted that her injuries are still a major factor in her life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t do it out of fear and anxiety, so don\u2019t ever let fear rule your life. I have long-standing injuries from that.
