"Swimming isn't everything, winning is."

Winning

"I got beat real hard and heavy in the Olympic Games in 1968 by a guy who swam an incredible race one time in his whole life, but he did it right at the right time. I'd like to be that guy now. Maybe that's what I'm going to have to pull out of my hat to make the Olympic team."

Time

"It has nothing to do with swimming. That happens to be my sport. I'm trying to see how far I can go."

Nothing

"I'm at the depot, and I'm not going anywhere. That's better to deal with than having to deal with the unknown. And the unknown is they don't want to fail. They don't want to pay the price unless there's a guarantee they're going to get there."

Want

"One of the most difficult things for people who have been successful in sports is adapting to the daily world where you can't get an answer from someone until 5 o'clock tomorrow. There is always an excuse. Living 40 or 50 years like that doesn't get too exciting after a while."

Sports

"The only side effect of too much training is that you get into better shape. There is nothing wrong with that."

Health

"I just tried to keep my cool and continue with my race plan: to win."

Race

"I am not qualified to talk about the diet. Simply because I am not a dietician."

Dieting

"So in my mind I own a lot of house records still."

Mind

"All things being equal, if we could simulate the same scenario, he has a lot more difficult task. He's elected to swim six individual events, as opposed to what I elected to do, which was four."
