You know, you pick and choose your battles.

Anything I do, I do with 110 percent. Right now, my biggest goal is the 2016 Olympics. My main focus is that. But after the sport of swimming-when it's all said and done-I want to get involved in fashion. I want to design my own clothing line. I'm very into fashion. It's something I really want to focus on when swimming is over.

I think after the 2008 Olympics I wasn't really satisfied with the outcome, so I knew I had to change some things.

I really want to get into designing my own business suit. I've designed a couple suits for myself that I've worn in the past, and I have a good idea of what I want and need to use.

I was a better basketball player growing up in high school than I was a swimmer. Basketball to this day is my favorite sport.

All you do is pull the pin, and it releases a startling alarm that can get you out of a bad situation.

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