The fact that I am as lean as I was in 2008, I'm stronger than I was in 2008 I think I have the potential to be as fast as I was.

I could see myself still swimming because I'm really enjoying the sport. But at the same time I have this biological clock that is ticking.

Tonight was not about winning, it was about focusing on myself and what I was aiming to do. It's the reason why I was able to swim so well

It's so rewarding the journey that I've been on.

I went through so many things personally, emotionally and mentally during that time off that I know that I'm better for it now and I think I'm a better athlete because of that.

Callin my ex-girl or e-mailin my mama, you're the only one that's causin me this drama.

I hate the idea of turning jazz into homework assignments. I would never have a quiz saying, "Who's the clarinetist on the Hot Five?" I don't care. If you like the clarinetist, you'll know who it is.
