Abe Lincoln is my favorite president of all time - and he pulls off that top hat pretty well.

Of course I have bad hair days; I’m human.

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.'

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.

Stay motivated, set goals, have fun

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.

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.
