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

If you put your mind to anything that you dream, you can achieve it.

We wanted to see how close we could get to the world record. We'll take that for right now.

Records are always made to be broken no matter what they are. Anybody can do anything that they set their mind to.

I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time.

Before the (Olympic) trials I was doing a lot of relaxing exercises and visualization. And I think that that helped me to get a feel of what it was gonna be like when I got there. I knew that I had done everything that I could to get ready for that meet, both physically and mentally

My goal is one Olympic gold medal. Not many people in this world can say, 'I'm an Olympic gold medalist.'
