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.

The key to the Lochte haircut is being fresh and looking up-to-date.

The big picture is the Trials and Olympics. I just have to keep focused for that, keep moving forward.

I'm going to focus on speed, doing little things like my turns and my starts - just speed.

No matter what, like, I couldn't - I could break a world record, get an Olympic gold medal, and my mom would be, like, you could have done better. But you looked pretty. That's what she says all the time.

If I break my ankle right now, this Olympics wasn't meant to be.

I love swimming because racing.
