Swimming Is More Than A Once-every-four-years Sport.

The One Thing That's Common To All Successful People: They Make A Habit Of Doing Things That Unsuccessful People Don't Like To Do.

I Live A Pretty Conservative Life, So I Probably Really Haven't Done Anything Crazy.

I Engaged In Behavior Which Was Regrettable And Demonstrated Bad Judgment. I'm 23 Years Old And Despite The Successes I've Had In The Pool, I Acted In A Youthful And Inappropriate Way, Not In A Manner People Have Come To Expect From Me. For This, I Am Sorry. I Promise My Fans And The Public It Will Not Happen Again.

This Is The First Medal I've Ever Won In An International Meet. For It To Be Gold Is Incredible. It Feels Great. I Can't Explain It.

I Like To Just Think Of Myself As A Normal Person Who Just Has A Passion, Has A Goal And A Dream And Goes Out And Does It. And That's Really How I've Always Lived My Life.
