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

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.

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

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

I started eating healthier. I actually gave up fast food. I gave up candy and potato chips and everything else. I started watching what I ate.

When I was a kid, I looked up to an Olympian superstar. I won't mention his name but when I asked for his autograph he said, 'no.'

The key to the Lochte haircut is being fresh and looking up-to-date.
