“I love working out. I mean, I've been doing it for about 20 years every day of my entire life. So I enjoy working out.”
“I started eating healthier. I actually gave up fast food. I gave up candy and potato chips and everything else. I started watching what I ate.”
“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.”
“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 really want to get into designing my own business suit. I've designed a couple suits for myself that I've worn in the past, and I have a good idea of what I want and need to use.”
“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.”
“It's so hard to express yourself, because swimmers are pretty much paying attention to a black line for hours out of a day.”
“The fact that people actually want my autograph is crazy.”
“I don't have a set style, but I try not to dress like everyone else.”
“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.”
“There's people out there that are like, 'Oh my God, I want to have your kid. I want to marry you.' People that I've never even met. That's sweet. It's funny.”
“Going out to look for a date, I don't have to do that. They come to me.”
“I might wear my pink Speedo. I think I should.”
“The whole Kardashian family, they have a bunch of energy.”
“I'm very competitive. I remember being 4 years old trying to out-chug my dad in a milk-chugging contest. It's been in my blood.”
“I want to be different, and fashion gives me that outlet to do that.”
“I'm not jealous of anybody, because I'm going to live my life the way I want to live it. I'm not going to be like, 'Oh my God they have this, I want that.'”
“Alec Baldwin is so funny.”
“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?'”
“Every year before a big competition, I get hurt doing stuff I should not be doing. One year it was my little brother's 12th birthday. We all played hide-and-seek late at night. I climbed up a 30-foot tree, thinking he'd never catch me. I tripped and fell on one of the branches and I hit my head.”
