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

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

People say to me, 'You're so lucky. You get to see the world.' But I don't. I go to the hotel and to the pools and back again. That's it.

Eat, sleep and swim, that's all I can do.

I've been able to get an excitement back in the water.

Being compared to Ian Thorpe, that could be one of the greatest compliments you could ever get in swimming - being compared to him and Mark Spitz.

If I didn't swim my best, I'd think about it at school, at dinner, with my friends. It would drive me crazy.
