There's people out there that are like, 'Oh my God, I want to have your kid. I want to marry you.' People that I've never even met. That's sweet. It's funny.
You could literally be perfect and people would still hate you, for being perfect.
I'm at a point where I'm ready to settle down. Every girl I meet, though, something wrong happens, and I end up getting hurt.
I think maybe I'm just a little too optimistic? I hope for the best in every situation and want to see the good in people.
It feels great. I had my family, my team, everyone supporting me.
Traveling over here, it was tough getting used to the time change. Usually, the first day is always the hardest for me to get used to. I just brushed it off of last night and got focused for my events.
It put me into a better racing dynamic.
It was my last race, and I just wanted to give everything I had because there wasn't another race left.
The biggest thing I'll miss is being part of the team.
It is perfect and I feel excited. It is my first world record in this championship. What is special is the atmosphere here is so good and I like the pool. The competition is hard but it is a great push to me.
If I could have one superpower, I'd be like Mel Gibson in 'What Women Want,' where he reads women's minds.
My philosophy is if you're a man at night, you gotta be a man in the morning.
I surround myself with people who really understand and love me. I think that's the best thing I can do.
I tapped him in the gut when I was walking over to the starting blocks. I'm just going to feed off this the rest of the meet because what I swam tonight was pretty fast for me.
