Sometimes success is simply being willing to give it your all.

Malfunctions are inevitable. It's important to push through them during practice - versus stopping to fix and restart - so that you're prepared for one mid-competition.

When people say to me, 'You're like the Anna Kournikova who wins,' I definitely take it as a compliment, because she's quite gorgeous.

I always tell people, I'm a better swimmer because I'm a mom and a better mom because I'm swimmer.

If you want me to swim fast, you have to let me enjoy my life.

I know that I do deserve good things.

I'm a firm believer in slowing down to improve my state of mind when I'm training, and yoga and meditation have been paramount to my success in this way.
