I think with practice, you can being whatever you want to be, and with a goal you can go in any direction that you want to go in.

I wanted to do something nobody ever did. This goes hand in hand with my goal of changing swimming.

Coming into tonight, I knew it was going to be a great race, ... In the 400, Laszlo put up a 4:10.1 earlier in the year, and so you expect him to put up a good time in (the 200). I knew Ryan was going to be fast coming off his short course season, and he's improved a lot since Athens, so I just wanted to go out there and relax a bit and go out there and do what I had to do.

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

I always thought, it would be neat to make the Olympic team.

When you use your imagination anything can happen.

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