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.

When I was growing up, I was eating fast food every day. I'd drink soda non-stop, candy, just everything. It was horrible. My go-to was McDonald's, for sure.

For those who are understood no need to explain

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

You can tell a great athlete by, like, not how many times he wins, unlike when he loses. Because that's what is gonna make a swimmer.

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