Courageous guy! Must be because he has "dragon's blood" in his veins.

David Arquette totaled his Cadillac last Friday after getting into a three-car accident - the actor swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid hitting a car that had stopped suddenly in front of him. Arquette said he was "fine" but was taken to the hospital in an ambulance anyway. He also "refused all pain medication," according to his Tweets.

Today we caught up with David - just before getting behind the wheel of his vintage Studebaker Avanti Convertible - and asked him about the crash.

"I'm alive and the woman I hit is alive, so thank God," he said. And about the dragon's blood Tweet? Either watch the vid above or see what he had to say about that below the jump!
