I can't remember the last day I didn't train.

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

I'm the same kind of guy before all this happened.

[Phelps] firmly denies that he takes drugs, suggesting that the notorious photo of him smoking from a bong was a one-time lapse of judgment.

It's cool just because I've had this dream of changing the sport of swimming and it's finally happening.

When you use your imagination anything can happen.

I'm fortunate to have an amazing, strong mother who is so supportive of everything me and my sisters did growing up - but she was someone who never forced us to go swim or to go do this or that. She helped us think about certain consequences when we needed to, but we made our own decisions. I think if I were forced to swim, I wouldn't have stayed in the pool as long as I did.
