I enjoy racing because I want to do it. No one's forcing me.

I love racing and I love doing well.

I don't like to run, train, in groups. But racing, it's the groups that are most inspiring to me. I love racing with 52,000 people. I don't like training with any more than one person. Ever.

I want to race as long as I'm having fun, it's competitive and healthy, and who knows when that, you know, date comes when that's not happening anymore.

It might sound stupid, but I don't enter a race to win - I enter a race because I love racing.

I enjoy racing so much. Ever since I was 8 or 9, I trained every stroke, because it was the only way I could race a lot.

I'm a competitor. I really enjoyed the race more than just going out and running to run.

And I guess the thing that I really sort of rely on in me is that I love racing and I love competing and so I know that you know when the time comes and the pressure's on and I have to swim well, I'm sort of able to pull it out and sort of get the best out of myself.

Racing is the only time I feel whole.

I've always had a fascination with cars and racing, not that I've ever competed.
