My philosophy is if you're a man at night, you gotta be a man in the morning.
I believe everyone has a soul mate that they can spend the rest of their life together.
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.'
In life, like, I'm always living life to the fullest to always have fun.
I'm at a point where I'm ready to settle down. Every girl I meet, though, something wrong happens, and I end up getting hurt.
If I just swam all day, I'd lose it. That's why I do so many other activities. It keeps me sane.
I took my weight training to a new level.
Going out to look for a date, I don't have to do that. They come to me.
No matter what I'm doing, I'm training. I'm training every day and I think that's something I won't lose - no matter what I do, no matter what event I'm at, I always find a way to train. It's just something that I love to do.
I need someone who is able to hold her own - if a girl is really independent, that's a turn-on for me.
I want to design my own clothing line. I'm very into fashion. It's something I really want to focus on when swimming is over.
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.
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.
I don't know if I'm a good kickball player; I know I'm a good athlete.
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 tore up my knee break dancing. I have no idea how that happened. Apparently these legs are meant for swimming, but not dancing. I was watching an MTV video, thinking, 'I can do this.' Definitely not. I heard a pop. I sat down and it blew up like a watermelon. I had to go to the hospital and get surgery.
You could literally be perfect and people would still hate you, for being perfect.
With swimming, I burn a lot of calories. I'm able to eat pretty much anything and it won't affect me. But I don't.
Not to have a big head about it, but people love me.
I might wear my pink Speedo. I think I should.
