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

I'm just going to go out there and try to win the race. When you go out there trying to go for a record, you're usually not going to get it.

If you’re a man at night, you’ve got to be a man in the morning.

I hate to lose. I like winning.

Of course I have bad hair days; I’m human.

Pain, tolerance, endurance-when it comes down to that point, there's always something left. You just have to find it.

For me, being Ryan Lochte is fun.
