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.
Have fun, because that's what life is all about.
In life, like, I'm always living life to the fullest to always have fun.
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.
For me, being Ryan Lochte is fun.
Stay motivated, set goals, have fun
I've been training really hard this year, more than any other year. My mind was set on it, and after the first one, I just kept feeding off of it.
We had our minds set on it all year. I'm glad I could go out and accomplish these goals.
It felt good to actually have a decent swim.
If someone asked me to be in a movie, I'd be more than happy.
I'm definitely laid back. I don't take things so seriously.
I wasn't really happy with the way 2008 turned out for me. I wanted to change some things.
My dad was my swim coach growing up, and I tried to get kicked out of practice every day. I was a little devil kid.
A player is someone - a guy - that messes with girls' emotions just to try and get what they want. I've been asked, 'Do you consider yourself a player?' And the answer is no. I don't think I'm anywhere near that.
