Every time I reach a major milestone in my career, I expect it to make more of a difference than it does, and I guess that means I'm in the sport for the right reasons. I'm not in it to win it because winning can only last for so long, and it's a very fickle thing, sport. ”

My job is to give 100 per cent so that I can walk away completely satisfied with the race I put together irrespective of placings. ”

My job isn't to create history; it's to go out there and perform at my best. ”

I think fathers were put on Earth to embarrass their daughters. ”

I read a statistic that in horse racing, the favourite only wins 12 per cent of their races. I'm not comparing myself to a horse or saying I'm the favourite - although my sister would say I can nag an awful lot - but nothing is guaranteed in sport. Anyone can step up and take what you perceive to be your place in the final. ”

I parade in next to no clothes every day. It's hard not to compare yourself to other people, but I think everyone is different, and that is something we should be celebrating. ”

If you're scared to lose rather than excited to win, then that's the wrong way to approach a race. ”

The best swimmers are the ones that almost don't try the most... It's just about relaxing and enjoying it. ”

All's fair in love and war and sport - even when you're fighting against your sister. ”

At the Olympics, you have almost nothing to lose, but at the Olympic trials, you have everything to lose. You have the last four years of your life to lose. ”
