Here is an excerpt of the satellite TV interview that aired on Wednesday:
Bret: My life didn’t flash before my eyes. It wasn’t like all of a sudden rerun of my life. What happened was I got very sad.
I went into completely just asking God ‘You’ve got to let me live through this.’ I could tell that how fast everyone was moving around something was bad.
And when a doctor-- I could overhear him saying to Kristi (Bret’s girlfriend and mother of his children) if you have children you should bring them to the hospital now. That was tough.
Oprah: You said you got really sad and started talking to God. Did He talk back?
Bret: He may have I think I was doing a lot of asking at that point. I know I’ve done a lot of rotten things.
