I might wear my pink Speedo. I think I should.
I want people to see the passion I have for swimming and become more involved in the sport.
I want to be different, and fashion gives me that outlet to do that.
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 was a better basketball player growing up in high school than I was a swimmer. Basketball to this day is my favorite sport.
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.
I'm going to keep living my life the way I've been living my life, and nothing is going to change that even if the Olympics are coming up.
If I break my ankle right now, this Olympics wasn't meant to be.
It's spelled J-E-A-H. If you say it like how it's spelled it's ‘jee-ah.’ But, that's boring; no one wants to hear that. So you have to really put that emphatis [sic] on that ‘J.’ And then the ‘A-H’ kinda just flows.
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.
Traveling over here, it was tough getting used to the time change. Usually, the first day is always the hardest for me to get used to. I just brushed it off of last night and got focused for my events.
We had our minds set on it all year. I'm glad I could go out and accomplish these goals.
I surround myself with people who really understand and love me. I think that's the best thing I can do.
My philosophy is if you're a man at night, you gotta be a man in the morning.
