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 hate to lose. I like winning.

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'm going to focus on speed, doing little things like my turns and my starts - just speed.

I want to design my own clothing line. I'm very into fashion. It's something I really want to focus on when swimming is over.

I've hung out with Jay-Z a couple of times, and he was awesome.

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.
