I've worked hard all my life.

If you're good at it, you can win.

I used to do some terrible things in the marshalling area to upset my rivals.

I probably have a different mental approach to swimming than most people. I actually enjoy training.

I can remember crawling through the window where he was in the hospital... He said, 'You have a gift... keep training for me.' I s'pose those were the last words he ever spoke to me.

Make yourself an example, achieve it, but don't hurt anyone on the way up. I don't think I did that.

I don't linger on the fact that Dawn Fraser was a great swimmer 40 years ago. That was in the past. I did break 41 world records, but I don't live on that today.
