Michael Phelps quotes

I think sometimes I guess you see records, say you want to get there and use that as motivation. In a way, it's kind of cool if there is a possibility to rewrite history and be up there with the greats of Olympic history.

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 think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time.

I can only control my own performance. If I do my best, then I can feel good at the end of the day.

Swimming is normal for me. I'm relaxed. I'm comfortable, and I know my surroundings. It's my home.

If you want to be the best, you have to do things that other people aren't willing to do.
