I suddenly said, 'I'm sick of losing'. After that, I trained hard and I never lost there again.

It's so hard to express yourself, because swimmers are pretty much paying attention to a black line for hours out of a day.

It's not like I'm looking for a blonde or a brunette, light-skinned or dark-skinned. I feel like I give any girl a fighting chance.

I can't eat beans - all beans. I think because I'm half Cuban. So growing up, we were always eating black beans and rice, and I think I just said, 'Enough with it,' and I can't even stand to taste it anymore.

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 started eating healthier. I actually gave up fast food. I gave up candy and potato chips and everything else. I started watching what I ate.

I love working out. I mean, I've been doing it for about 20 years every day of my entire life. So I enjoy working out.
