I think it's better to attempt something and fail than it is to not even attempt it, so I'm glad that I've been prepared to put myself on the line there.

So I think it's better to say something than not to say anything at all, even to an ignorant person.

For myself, losing is not coming second. It's getting out of the water knowing you could have done better. For myself, I have won every race I've been in.

I didn't think that that was going to happen, ... Maybe what I need is to get up and give more than I had tonight. But I'm really pleased with the way I swam.

I think now I'll probably take a few days off and enjoy the competition and then sit down with a few people and work out what is next, work out what the next preparation will be and what competition will be next.

I'm more comfortable knowing that, chances are, I'm going to fail at this. I've become comfortable with that.
