Life is all about balance: sprinting hard and fast, breathing deep and slow. Working out with my coaches, playing with my kids. Eating whole foods for fuel, enjoying a glass of wine with friends.

I protect my skin with sunscreen and am religious about keeping my face moisturized and properly protected all day, so I also use a face lotion with SPF 30.

I concentrate on preparing to swim my race and let the other swimmers think about me, not me about them.

Sometimes success is simply being willing to give it your all.

Breaking composure, confidence, and speed in the water makes you lose the race, not the goggles that fell off your head when you dove in.

You just think that your future or you intend to devote yourself to the humanity. The choice is in your hands

The moon has been loving us with her dreamy smile for billions of years, but still she is not tired.

Life is less about finding and more about seeking.

All sides in a trial want to hide at least some of the truth.

Memorizing dialogue has always come easy and quickly to me. My wife Eileen is also very helpful. She gives me choices, and asks me questions, and runs my lines with me.

A bass player has to think and play like a bass player. A drummer has to play and think like a drummer, and stay out of the way of the vocalist. The guitar player has to respect everybody else.

Just wanted to inspire my teammates. Obviously, I didn't do enough.
