You can predict all you want, but everybody knows what predictions get you.

I've learned that winning isn't everything, and it's more about the journey. But at the end of the day, I just want to stand on the podium with the gold medal.

I still don't buy the idea that I'm a 'sex symbol.'

My entire purpose is trying to be the best in the game, and if that exudes beauty too, that's pretty powerful.

London 2012 is all about winning a medal. Not just any medal, the gold medal.

I think people who don't have conflict in their lives are just trying to please people and not really living life to the fullest.

I usually tell people I watch like '24' and 'Prison Break.'
