The Only Reason I Started Swimming Was

I Felt Comfortable In The Water. I Was In My Own World, Focused. I Love Sports And I'm A Very Goal-oriented Person. Once I Started Falling In Love With Sports, It Was Easy. I Was Able To Put My Mind On Something And Go For It. That's How I Am With Everything, It Doesn't Matter What It Is That I Do. If I Want To Do Something, Nothing Will Stand In My Way.

It Doesn't Matter What Else Is Going On. When You Walk Into Your Arena Or Your - Whatever You Excel At, You're There To Take Care Of The Job That You Have To Do.

Being Compared To Ian Thorpe, That Could Be One Of The Greatest Compliments You Could Ever Get In Swimming - Being Compared To Him And Mark Spitz.

I Love To Race The Best People In The World And The Fastest People In The World.

I Have Had Extreme Ups And Downs. The Biggest Thing I Learned After I Broke My Wrist Is To Never Give Up. Nothing In Life Will Ever Come Easy. It Depends On How You Deal With Those Obstacles And How You Overcome Those Obstacles. If You Can Overcome Them, You're A Stronger Person. If You Make Mistakes Along The Way, As Long As You Never Make That Same Mistake Again, You're A Successful Person.
