I was a little troublemaker. Always trying to get in trouble, always mischief, like throwing rocks at cars when I was younger, all that kind of stuff.

I want people to see the passion I have for swimming and become more involved in the sport.

I've talked in front of ... like... a lot of big business people about stuff I didn't even know.

I think that is why I do so many different things with the hair, the grills, the crazy shoes.It's just my personality coming out there.

The swimming community is really small, but why can't it be as big as the NBA or the NFL?

I grew up with a big family. I want that. I want to have my own family.

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.
