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 don't know if I'm a good kickball player; I know I'm a good athlete.

I try not to read the negative comments, and when I do, I let it roll off my back. I remind myself that there will always be haters as long as you are in the public eye.

For those who are understood no need to explain

After my swims this weekend I think coach realized, you know what, you have to have a good one getting out of this meet. So I put the suit on and had a decent swim.

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.

Too travel is sometimes better to arrive!
