I should have been much more responsible in how I handled myself and for that am sorry.
All you do is pull the pin, and it releases a startling alarm that can get you out of a bad situation.
I knew he was here tonight. I tapped him in the gut when I was walking over to the starting blocks.
It put me into a better racing dynamic.
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.
You'd be amazed at what I can do. Did you know I can swim?
I tapped him in the gut when I was walking over to the starting blocks. I'm just going to feed off this the rest of the meet because what I swam tonight was pretty fast for me.
If I just swam all day, I'd lose it. That's why I do so many other activities. It keeps me sane.
If you’re a man at night, you’ve got to be a man in the morning.
My senior year of high school, when I was getting recruited for college, my dad goes to me, 'You can become an Olympic champion.' And that's the first time that I'd heard someone else say that to me. I was like, 'Uh, are you talking to me?'

I was a little troublemaker. Always trying to get in trouble, always mischief, like throwing rocks at cars when I was younger, all that kind of stuff.
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.
Pain is temporarily, but pride last forever
