I enjoy racing so much. Ever since I was 8 or 9, I trained every stroke, because it was the only way I could race a lot.

I love working out. I mean, I've been doing it for about 20 years every day of my entire life. So I enjoy working out.

I want people to see the passion I have for swimming and become more involved in the sport.

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

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.

I honestly think if I would've tied my suit and there wouldn't have been any water rushing through it, I think I could've gone at least a second faster.

I'm not jealous of anybody, because I'm going to live my life the way I want to live it. I'm not going to be like, "Oh my God they have this, I want that."
