I'm kind of a creature of habit. Once I get used to doing things, it's like second nature.

We need to make seeing a therapist more accessible; we've got to crack down on this and allow people the opportunity to seek help. It's going to be a game-changer. I would love people to become more vulnerable and reach out and ask for help. I would never want somebody to go through the feelings I had, almost exactly three years ago, of not wanting to be alive. That's a scary thing, and to think of where I am today compared to that - that's way bigger than winning a gold medal.

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

Every day is different and every day brings something more exciting.

I am excited to have the opportunity to help provide the same swim instruction that I received as a child when I was enrolled in a water safety class at five-years-old.

You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.

It's not how you start, but it's how you finish.
