Everyone loves to be loved.

I went through a lifestyle change when I dropped 40 pounds. Taking care of my diet was the first thing I did.

When I went to the Olympics, I had every intention of shaving the moustache off, but I realized I was getting so many comments about it — and everybody was talking about it — that I decided to keep it.

Past performance speaks a tremendous amount about one's ability and likelihood for success.

Because a known fact is better than an unknown fact.

I always wanted to be a dentist from the time I was in high school, and I was accepted to dental school in the spring of 1972. I was planning to go, but after the Olympics there were other opportunities.

I walked away from the sport for 17 years, then started swimming again recently in a master's program.
