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

I need someone who is able to hold her own - if a girl is really independent, that's a turn-on for me.

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.

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

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've talked in front of ... like... a lot of big business people about stuff I didn't even know.

I love swimming because racing.
