Hopefully I don't annoy people too much.

I'm just an all-around happy girl who loves everything about her life.

A huge part of swimming for me is I love it, and it is so much fun.

Sometimes we complain, but there is something beautiful about waking up before everyone to get better at what we love.

The goal is to keep having fun. Not let that pressure get to me and still be Missy.

For me, it seems to help me take the pressure off if I don't pay attention to what other people are telling me.

I'm always so excited about what I do that I try to get everyone to feel that way.

I haven't even thought about a world record. I just want to go out there and have fun. I think when you focus too much on the numbers, you don't see anything that's out there.

I don't think about the trials and the Olympics a lot. If I do, it's just going to stress me out and get me worried.

I don't like watching myself on TV, I don't like reading about myself.

For right now, I still believe that college is what's going to make me the happiest girl.

Nothing about you, my dear, has ever been lost on me.

Knowledge cannot be maintained without character.

Camouflage with a defensive grace and bounce back with joy.

This morning I suddenly catch myself: I'm not there, I'm so lost in thought, I don't know what's going on around me. Can you think yourself to death?

The problem with always being a conformist is that when you try to change the system from within, it's not you who changes the system; it's the system that will eventually change you.

Make sure you are doing what is important to God-not just what is important to everyone else you know.

the English don't go in for imagination: imagination is considered to be improper if not downright alarmist.

The glory of sport is born at the moment when the game and the person become one, when all the complexity of one's life finds a moment to emerge in the game.

Guilt lies in the past, worry lies in the future.
