It's the Olympics. If you can't get up to swim early in the morning, don't go.

My goal is one Olympic gold medal. Not many people in this world can say, 'I'm an Olympic gold medalist.'

Dream as big as you can dream, and anything is possible.

I want to go to the World Cup. I want to go to the Masters. I want to go... anywhere.

I have reached a place in my life where I need to sit down and say, 'Well, what do I do? What's best for me?' I need to look into options for the future.

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.

I'm satisfied in a way because this is an eye opener for me, ... I didn't have the success I've always been able to have. I learned a lot.
