For me, being Ryan Lochte is fun.

I want to be different, and fashion gives me that outlet to do that.

In life, like, I'm always living life to the fullest to always have fun.

With swimming, I burn a lot of calories. I'm able to eat pretty much anything and it won't affect me. But I don't.

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 have a lot of endurance and I have a good background right now in my training and it's time to get ready.

Pain, tolerance, endurance-when it comes down to that point, there's always something left. You just have to find it.
