Have fun, because that's what life is all about.
I look at him as some other person I need to beat.
The swimming community is really small, but why can't it be as big as the NBA or the NFL?
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.
I want people to see the passion I have for swimming and become more involved in the sport.
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.
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 tore up my knee break dancing. I have no idea how that happened. Apparently these legs are meant for swimming, but not dancing. I was watching an MTV video, thinking, 'I can do this.' Definitely not. I heard a pop. I sat down and it blew up like a watermelon. I had to go to the hospital and get surgery.
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.
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 love swimming because racing.
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.
