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?'

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

I'm going to keep living my life the way I've been living my life, and nothing is going to change that even if the Olympics are coming up.

It's not like I'm looking for a blonde or a brunette, light-skinned or dark-skinned. I feel like I give any girl a fighting chance.

I'm big into fashion, so after swimming, when I hang up the Speedo, I definitely want to get into fashion and start designing my own clothing line.

I like girls who really don't care what other people are thinking - girls who are a little goofy. I think that's sexy.

The fact that people actually want my autograph is crazy.
