I feel most at home in the water. I disappear. That's where I belong.

I'm kind of a creature of habit. Once I get used to doing things, it's like second nature.

I want to test my maximum and see how much I can do. And I want to change the world of swimming.

The more you dream the more you achieve.

There is a one woman in China that claimed she paid $50 to get my e-mail address. It was pretty shocking. I got one this morning from Scotland. A girl's requesting a signed photo of me.

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.

Not having to travel and being able to settle in has helped me in training life and school life. I've learned to get a grip and take care of myself.
