I cannot think that we are useless or God would not have created us. There is one God looking down on us all. We are all the children of one God. The sun, the darkness, the winds are all listening to what we have to say. |
I closed out my career on a positive note. Not only did I set two records this season, I also won three medals in state, including one in an individual event. I'm excited that I got to swim for such a successful program. |
I consider myself someone who attempts to balance both traditional and newer methods of player evaluation. I feel like objective analysis has a very important place in the decision, but it's only one part of the process. |
I cut to the chase -- what I would want to give and what I would want to receive. A guy wants to say he still loves her. A gal wants to know he still does. She wants to get goose bumps. He wants to think he'll get lucky. |
I definitely feel that a little weight has been lifted. Now I know the next time I'm in that position, I'll know I've gone ahead and won before, so it's going to give me confidence the next time I'm in the same position. |

I did start by being a little slow this year, but right before nationals I stepped up my training. At nationals, it was such a great experience to get onto the podium. I'm so excited to have the whole Olympic experience. |
I didn't care what anybody thought. I knew there were going to be some who believed me and some who didn't. But for the most part I think everybody bought in and thought we could be a special team. And we're going to be. |
I didn't know what the heck he was doing. I'd never seen that before. They celebrated like it was six more points, or something. I didn't know what it was until I read the scoreboard to see how many points he got for it. |

I do give a great deal of forethought and zone in on character and all sorts of things like that. Never before have I just stuffed something away in the back cupboard of my brain because it was just such a crazy concept. |
I do not believe that all of the conditions imposed today are necessary, ... Nevertheless, the parties involved have chosen to make these commitments now in order to obtain the certainty of immediate commission approval. |
