My senior year of high school, when I was getting recruited for college, my dad goes to me, 'You can become an Olympic champion.' And that's the first time that I'd heard someone else say that to me. I was like, 'Uh, are you talking to me?'

There's so much more to me than swimming. I like to go and have fun, like to go dancing, hang out with my friends.

I might wear my pink Speedo. I think I should.

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

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.

My last Olympics, I had a girlfriend — big mistake. Now I’m single, so London should be really good. I’m excited.

I took my weight training to a new level.
