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

If I want to achieve the goals I've set, I've got to be in tip-top shape.

The one thing that's common to all successful people: They make a habit of doing things that unsuccessful people don't like to do.

The only reason I started swimming was for water safety. Then, once I started falling in love with sports, I got more comfortable with it.

I believe in God; I'm not saying I'm highly religious.

I want to be able to look back and say, 'I've done everything I can, and I was successful.' I don't want to look back and say I should have done this or that. I'd like to change things for the younger generation of swimmers coming along.

There are so many things that I still want to do. My foundation, growing my brand . . . the list is endless. I'm honestly busier now than I was when I was swimming. It's kind of weird, but I feel like more of an adult because I have to do stuff every day. Whether it's checking emails or making phone calls or doing this and that, it's fun for me. It's the start of a new chapter. At times, it is frustrating, but I know it's not going to be easy to accomplish the goals that I want.
