Swimming is more than a once-every-four-years sport. My goal is to bring attention to swimming - to give it some personality.

If evidence came to our attention that suggested it happened, we'd always reconsider it.

Not enough attention is paid to the retention issue.

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've always been fortunate in that I've been able to put myself in my own zone and relax. It comes naturally. I'm lucky to be that way.

My goal is one Olympic gold medal. Not many people in this world can say, 'I'm an Olympic gold medallist.
