So, you know, if, if I wanted to get up and just play golf one day, I would just get up and play golf. If I wanted to go to Vegas, I would just get up and go to Vegas.

My little son is already like me - my mom has always said I used to bounce off the wall and never stop talking or sit still. I'm starting to see that with him. I guess it's living proof he's part of me.

I learned how fast you can go from being an international hero to being a reference in a joke on a late night talk show.

Before, it came easy for me. I don't have two speeds anymore. I need to focus on the small things that I once took for granted.

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

And I hope seeing a therapist becomes 10 times easier in the future. For me, once I came out of treatment, I got into a therapist and continued my road to recovery and health and happiness. But not everyone can do that. It's challenging to see a therapist when you work full-time, when you can't get an appointment within a week, and then by the time you do get one, maybe you feel like your "problem" has lessened and you don't bother to go in. It's about access.

I won't predict anything historic. But nothing is impossible.
