Remember to do the things you enjoy away from swimming, regularly.

For myself, losing is not coming second. It's getting out of the water knowing you could have done better. For myself, I have won every race I've been in.

Sometimes we question things that we have done in our lives but how many times do we question what we haven't done in someone else's.

Compared to how I have raced before and how I have competed, the success that I have had, this does look like doom compared to it.

I think it's better to attempt something and fail than it is to not even attempt it, so I'm glad that I've been prepared to put myself on the line there.

I think now I'll probably take a few days off and enjoy the competition and then sit down with a few people and work out what is next, work out what the next preparation will be and what competition will be next.

I thought I could, and thought I would, swim a lot quicker - much quicker.

I'll go for broke. Swim faster. It's not going to be easy - this whole thing was never going to be easy.

I'm disappointed that I really haven't been able to race in a way that is reflective of the amount of work that I have done and how I have trained. But I don't regret giving this a go.

I'm more comfortable knowing that, chances are, I'm going to fail at this. I've become comfortable with that.

I'm still swimming.

I've enjoyed training again, I've enjoyed pushing myself in the pool and I'll keep on swimming until I feel I cannot get any more out of myself.

I've missed out on a huge goal but the desire is still there.

The fairytale has turned into a nightmare.

When I started this I wanted to get back in the pool, I wanted to race and I wanted to go to the Olympics. I still want to do all of those things.

Back in the late 1990s, venture capitalists got very excited about the Internet. A whole lot of money was poured into some companies that failed rather spectacularly, and a lot of people lost a lot of money.

There was so much great music around in the '60s, stuff like The Small Faces, but I also love The Jam.

Principles focusing on equality and fairness those are principles that we cant let go of.

It ain't gun control we need; it's sin control.

I have been a Ron Paul 'R3VOLutionary' longer than most 'R3VOLutionaries' have been alive!

My dad took me to John Kennedy's inauguration when I was 8. We come every time, Republican and Democrat, because of this great country.

I don't even know what the issues are. I haven't paid attention to politics in a long time. It's actually not something that I really even enjoy. It's way off my radar.

I did not want to write a story about the invasion of Earth, so I had to create a race capable of living nearby, which meant to either on the Moon, on Mars, or on Venus. I picked Venus.

When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears.

When I decided to stay in Iraq, I decided to take the fear out of my body and put it into a freezer.

As an artist, I feel so fortunate to be able to learn from all these great musicians that came before me, when some people have nobody that came before them.

Whatsoever is good; the same is also approved of God.

Success is often not a matter of talent, but a matter of tenacity.

Whatever good or bad is said by former cricketers is considered gospel. Our media should not blow out of proportion the opinion of former cricketers.

I've kind of been in a video game, I've kind of been an action figure. It was actually a Barbie doll, so that's why I say kind of, but if I can get made fun of on 'South Park' or 'Family Guy,' then I'll know that I've done something good with my life.

Democracy is not a spectator sport. It is a difficult, hard, full-contact, participatory endeavor.

I've never seen anybody win the game in the media. But at the same time, I understand what it could do for you, if you wanted to be someone who talks a lot.

When we feel joyful euphoric happy we are more open to life more capable of seeing things clearly and handling daily tensions.

I own nothing; I just stay with friends all over the country.

The other one I did was "I, Robot." I take apart Isaac Asimov's Robots world.

I've always gone out with much younger guys. But I rushed into relationships before really getting to know the person. What would come up as a warning sign within the first two weeks of dating would usually be the exact reason the relationship would end!

This high official, all allow, is grossly overpaid; there wasn't any Board, and now there isn't any Trade.

In this crazy crazy world of figure skating it is easy to focus on a name or a target. But when you are going after someone it really only holds you back from what you are capable of yourself.

My parents were enthusiastic fans of 'Sammy's Hill.' But they think 'Sammy's House' is a better book.
