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

This is the first medal I've ever won in an international meet. For it to be gold is incredible. It feels great. I can't explain it.

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

If you look at me, basically my whole entire life I've been around water. So when you look at a stat like, "If you leave the faucet running for two minutes while you brush your teeth you waste four gallons of water," to me that's mind-blowing. There are so many people that don't even have access to clean water, and people leave their faucets running. For me it was something that fit with things that I believe in.

It's not how you start, but it's how you finish.

If you say "can't" you're restricting what you can do or ever will do.

Anything is possible as long as you want it, you work for it. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, the only person that can really put pressure on you is yourself
