People say to me, 'You're so lucky. You get to see the world.' But I don't. I go to the hotel and to the pools and back again. That's it.

Even in high school, I'd tell my mom I was sick of swimming and wanted to try to play golf. She wasn't too happy. She'd say, 'Think about this.' And I'd always end up getting back in the pool.

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

I have the opportunity to be part of swimming history. To take the sport to a new level would be an honor for me. There's no better time to try this than now.

I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and you put the work and time into it. I think your mind really controls everything.

Once I retire, I'm retiring. I'm done.
