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.

Anything I do, I do with 110 percent. Right now, my biggest goal is the 2016 Olympics. My main focus is that. But after the sport of swimming-when it's all said and done-I want to get involved in fashion. 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 grew up with a big family. I want that. I want to have my own family.

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 don't know if I'm a good kickball player; I know I'm a good athlete.

I think after the 2008 Olympics I wasn't really satisfied with the outcome, so I knew I had to change some things.

The big picture is the Trials and Olympics. I just have to keep focused for that, keep moving forward.
