I love competing. I love a challenge. I love going in and showing people what I can do, proving to them that I can get this part, that I can give you what you want.

I love competing.

I love to compete. That's the essence of who I am.

I've been an athlete and competitor my whole life, and there's nothing more that I get off on than competition.

I love competition because I've always run faster when somebody was running next to me.

I don't want to think of life after competing. But if I were to do anything else I'd go down the psychology route. That's what interests me.

I've been in a competitive situation almost all my life. I've been having a competition with myself and trying to be the best I could be.

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.

I'm just competitive. It doesn't matter what it is. I want to win.

It's not really about the competition. Your biggest challenge in a race is yourself. You're often racing against time. You're frequently running everything through your mind. You're always competing against preconceived ideas. It's not really the person next to you that you worry about.
