“Most people take long breaks after Olympics. I needed some normalcy back in my life, so I came back to the pool.”

“There's a lot more to life than just the Olympic Games.”

“I think being an athlete prepares you for more things than people give us credit for.”

“When I think back on it, of course I got lucky and got great directors and good breaks but all that was the physical part. But what made me a star was that I could take a chance and not have anything to worry about in terms of losing.”

“It's not about the stuff. The issue is how we use that stuff and how do we train people to use that stuff. Do we use that stuff to confront people who are protesting in a community? Do we use a sniper rifle to see closer in a crowd? That's where it breaks down.”

“Sometimes you get hit on the nose and nothing happens, then you get hit and something breaks.”
