Olympic medals are the one medal that I don't have; I've won just about every other competition that I've been at.

I've kind of got an out in cancer. It keeps things in perspective for me.

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

I think you have to be weird to swim breaststroke.

There is a whole generation of romance readers and writers who suffer from what I like to think of as 'Thorn Birds' Fever.

I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.

I think being raised by a single mother put me on the outside, and I would watch my mother's married friends and think, 'Why does she put him down in public?' or, 'Why is he so rude to her?' It seemed to me that there were very few marriages where the couple were genuinely in a supportive, loving partnership.

If you've experienced cheating in a new marriage, the real work is not obsessively combing through all the details of what happened, but rather figuring out if your relationship is worth saving.
