I swam the race like I trained to swim it. It is not mathematical. I just let my body do it. It is a lot easier if you let your body do what it is trained for.

Sometimes we question things that we have done in our lives but how many times do we question what we haven't done in someone else's?

People ask me 'what was going through your mind in the race?' and I don't know. I try and ...let my body do what it knows

Part of me didn't know if Australia wanted its champion to be gay.

Remember to do the things you enjoy away from swimming, regularly.

I'll go for broke. Swim faster. It's not going to be easy - this whole thing was never going to be easy.

I thought I could, and thought I would, swim a lot quicker - much quicker.
