I enjoy racing so much. Ever since I was 8 or 9, I trained every stroke, because it was the only way I could race a lot.
You know, you pick and choose your battles.
The swimming community is really small, but why can't it be as big as the NBA or the NFL?
The fact that people actually want my autograph is crazy.
Something will pop up in my head. It could be like the weirdest thing. Like all'a sudden like I have like a jumping banana in my head.
You can tell a great athlete by, like, not how many times he wins, unlike when he loses. Because that's what is gonna make a swimmer.
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.
You know, honestly, if a girl can make me laugh, I'm pretty much sold.
I honestly think if I would've tied my suit and there wouldn't have been any water rushing through it, I think I could've gone at least a second faster.
For me, being Ryan Lochte is fun.
Of course I have bad hair days; I’m human.
My last Olympics, I had a girlfriend — big mistake. Now I’m single, so London should be really good. I’m excited.
I've hung out with Jay-Z a couple of times, and he was awesome.
In life, like, I'm always living life to the fullest to always have fun.
