I believe everyone has a soul mate that they can spend the rest of their life together.

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

I tore up my knee break dancing. I have no idea how that happened. Apparently these legs are meant for swimming, but not dancing. I was watching an MTV video, thinking, "I can do this." Definitely not. I heard a pop. I sat down and it blew up like a watermelon. I had to go to the hospital and get surgery.

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.

For me, being Ryan Lochte is fun.

I grew up with a big family. I want that. I want to have my own family.

I grew up listening to oldies, like Motown. That's from my mom.
