You can tell a great athlete by, like, not how many times he wins, unlike when he loses. Because that's what is gonna make a swimmer.

I try not to read the negative comments, and when I do, I let it roll off my back. I remind myself that there will always be haters as long as you are in the public eye.

The big picture is the Trials and Olympics. I just have to keep focused for that, keep moving forward.

I need someone who is able to hold her own - if a girl is really independent, that's a turn-on for me.

You'd be amazed at what I can do. Did you know I can swim?

Pain is temporarily, but pride last forever

I love swimming because racing.
