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.

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.

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

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

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 swimming community is really small, but why can't it be as big as the NBA or the NFL?

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