"Swimming isn't everything, winning is."

Winning

Sports

Time

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

"Life is true to form; records are meant to be broken."

Life

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