Swimming is fun. It's a lot funner than golf.

I live a pretty conservative life, so I probably really haven't done anything crazy.

I think with practice, you can being whatever you want to be, and with a goal you can go in any direction that you want to go in.

When I race, I don't think about it; it just happens.

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

If you want to be the best you have to do things that other people aren't willing to do.

If I bring back only one gold people are going to say it's a disappointment. But not too many of them own an Olympic gold medal so if I get one I'm going to be happy.
