I'm going to keep living my life the way I've been living my life, and nothing is going to change that even if the Olympics are coming up.

I suddenly said, 'I'm sick of losing'. After that, I trained hard and I never lost there again.

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.

For those who are understood no need to explain

My senior year of high school, when I was getting recruited for college, my dad goes to me, 'You can become an Olympic champion.' And that's the first time that I'd heard someone else say that to me. I was like, 'Uh, are you talking to me?'

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

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.
