It's Not How You Start,

My Goal Is One Olympic Gold Medal. Not Many People In This World Can Say, 'i'm An Olympic Gold Medalist.'

I Like To Get In My Own World. When I'm Getting Ready For A Meet, I Always Have Headphones On, Listening To Rap Music To Get Myself Fired Up

Coming Into Tonight, I Knew It Was Going To Be A Great Race, ... In The 400, Laszlo Put Up A 4:10.1 Earlier In The Year, And So You Expect Him To Put Up A Good Time In (the 200). I Knew Ryan Was Going To Be Fast Coming Off His Short Course Season, And He's Improved A Lot Since Athens, So I Just Wanted To Go Out There And Relax A Bit And Go Out There And Do What I Had To Do.

I Want To Be Able To Look Back And Say, 'i've Done Everything I Can, And I Was Successful.' I Don't Want To Look Back And Say I Should Have Done This Or That. I'd Like To Change Things For The Younger Generation Of Swimmers Coming Along.

I'm Satisfied In A Way Because This Is An Eye Opener For Me, ... I Didn't Have The Success I've Always Been Able To Have. I Learned A Lot.
