It's not like I'm looking for a blonde or a brunette, light-skinned or dark-skinned. I feel like I give any girl a fighting chance.

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.

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.

I was a better basketball player growing up in high school than I was a swimmer. Basketball to this day is my favorite sport.

Just all that hard work, all those hours in the pool, I feel like it's about to pay off. I guess we'll just have to wait and see this summer.

I've always been honest with all my kids. So I - if they did well, they did well. And if they didn't, actually, I asked, did you try your best? And if they tried their best, then, you know, I back out because I expect them to be honest with me or with themselves. And I can't make you go out there and work out hard.

It's so hard to express yourself, because swimmers are pretty much paying attention to a black line for hours out of a day.
