 Because a known fact is better than an unknown fact. |
| I'm trying to do the best I can. I'm not concerned with tomorrow, but with what goes on today. |
| When I went to the Olympics, I had every intention of shaving the mustache off, but I realized I was getting so many comments about it - and everybody was talking about it - that I decided to keep it. |
| I walked away from the sport for 17 years, then started swimming again recently in a master's program. |
| 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. |
| In everyday life there is always manana. There is no urgency. |
| 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. |
| The only side effect of too much training is that you get into better shape. There is nothing wrong with that. |
| Life is true to form; records are meant to be broken. |
| It has nothing to do with swimming. That happens to be my sport. I'm trying to see how far I can go. |
| The pool is terrible, but that doesn't have much to do with my record swims. That's all mental attitude. |
| I am not qualified to talk about the diet. Simply because I am not a dietician. |
| Past performance speaks a tremendous amount about one's ability and likelihood for success. |
| If you fail to prepare, you're prepared to fail. |
| By making a comeback, I'm changing the attitude of people toward me. If I'd known that people would react so enthusiastically, I'd have done it years ago. |
| What it is saying is that someone who was a world champion and who takes care of himself with a 17-year rest and applies the proper training techniques and perseverance could be successful. |
| Yes, I believe that the art of winning is through intimidation, and not necessarily do you have to speak about it. |
| My biggest loss was the Olympics. I just can't forget losing. I never will. |
| I just tried to keep my cool and continue with my race plan: to win. |
| And if you have high cholesterol, you would feel the same as if you had low cholesterol because there are no side effects, no symptoms of having high cholesterol. |
