Earlier this month, Jeremy Renner confirmed to Cohen & Cooper that he's ready to return. "I think I'm ready. I think I'm strong enough. We'll see…. I literally go back in a week. But I'll be doing my best, trying my hardest." Jeremy Renner also discussed his journey towards recovery and how important it was to have his family, friends, and fans – along with a team of medical professionals – help him make such a quick recovery.

"I'm just so blessed that I have so many things to live for, brother. I have a giant family; I have a 10-year-old daughter, [and] I would've disappointed and really messed up a lot of people's lives if I would've passed, and so there's a lot for me to get better for," Jeremy Renner shared with Cohen & Cooper via their satellite interview. "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."

Jeremy Renner continued, "With that, I'd never thought about my own physical ailments, my own pain, or my own anguish. 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." Here's a look at the Jeremy Renner interview from New Year's Eve night:
