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.

My suit blew up into a parachute. All this water rushed in, there's air, water in there. I was freaking out.

You know, you pick and choose your battles.

There's so much more to me than swimming. I like to go and have fun, like to go dancing, hang out with my friends.

One thing I won't do: I won't give up on love.

I should have been much more responsible in how I handled myself and for that am sorry.

I like girls who really don't care what other people are thinking - girls who are a little goofy. I think that's sexy.
