For me, relationships are the real action movies. Bombs are exploding every day and the kitchen is Ground Zero.

I feel like something has changed for me, but it’s a new change, so it’s going to be hard for me to describe. Maybe it has something to do with turning 30. I don’t feel as shy or nervous or self-conscious. I have more confidence that I can handle what life brings me. I don’t feel scared to have an idea and express it. I feel giddy about it because it’s a complete transformation. It’s like I’ve found my voice.

It's all so personal, isn't it? It's hard to talk about work without talking about things that are personal. Work is personal. I don't want to talk about my personal life, but it's on my mind, and it's in my work.

For this relay there was a little more pressure because it's the 200, you have to make sure you swim it smart. The 100 was more about energy.

I was born with a fierce need for independence.

I did find my direction at an early age.

I love domestic life.
