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'm going to keep living my life the way I've been living my life, and nothing is going to change that even if the Olympics are coming up.

I like girls who really don't care what other people are thinking - girls who are a little goofy. I think that's sexy.

For those who are understood no need to explain

I'm big into fashion, so after swimming, when I hang up the Speedo, I definitely want to get into fashion and start designing my own clothing line.

I should have been much more responsible in how I handled myself and for that am sorry.

That's the quickest way to my heart: Laughter.
