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.

It's cool just because I've had this dream of changing the sport of swimming and it's finally happening.

If I bring back only one gold people are going to say it's a disappointment. But not too many of them own an Olympic gold medal so if I get one I'm going to be happy.

If you say "can't" you're restricting what you can do or ever will do.

I am 26 and, and I don't recover as fast as I have in the past.

I got the stamina. I can close.

The more you dream the more you achieve.
