I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and you put the work and time into it. I think your mind really controls everything.

Nothing is impossible. With so many people saying it couldn't be done, all it takes is an imagination.

I used to always go to church on holidays, but I don't go much any more.

Every day is different and every day brings something more exciting.

I think sometimes I guess you see records, say you want to get there and use that as motivation. In a way, it's kind of cool if there is a possibility to rewrite history and be up there with the greats of Olympic history.

I'm the same kind of guy before all this happened.

For recovery, I think it's a big deal to eat within a half-hour after you exercise. Otherwise I just try to put carbs into my system before I swim and then load up on the protein after. I don't count calories. Whether it's Sour Patch Kids or Reese's or a bag of chips, if I feel like eating it, I'm going to eat it.
