Pain is temporarily, but pride last forever
Abe Lincoln is my favorite president of all time - and he pulls off that top hat pretty well.
I don't know if I'm a good kickball player; I know I'm a good athlete.
I hate to lose. I like winning.
Stay motivated, set goals, have fun
It's so hard to express yourself, because swimmers are pretty much paying attention to a black line for hours out of a day.
I can't eat beans - all beans. I think because I'm half Cuban. So growing up, we were always eating black beans and rice, and I think I just said, 'Enough with it,' and I can't even stand to taste it anymore.
I need someone who is able to hold her own - if a girl is really independent, that's a turn-on for me.
I took my weight training to a new level.
It's not like I'm looking for a blonde or a brunette, light-skinned or dark-skinned. I feel like I give any girl a fighting chance.
Just all that hard work, all those hours in the pool, I feel like it's about to pay off. I guess we'll just have to wait and see this summer.
I honestly really don't get aggravated at all. I just go with the flow. Whatever happens, happens.
When I was growing up, I was eating fast food every day. I'd drink soda non-stop, candy, just everything. It was horrible. My go-to was McDonald's, for sure.
No matter what, like, I couldn't - I could break a world record, get an Olympic gold medal, and my mom would be, like, you could have done better. But you looked pretty. That's what she says all the time.
