If you’re a man at night, you’ve got to be a man in the morning.

My last Olympics, I had a girlfriend — big mistake. Now I’m single, so London should be really good. I’m excited.

I have a lot of endurance and I have a good background right now in my training and it's time to get ready.

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.

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.

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.

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