Michael Phelps

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

"I eat pretty much whatever I want. I don't have a strict diet. It's all about cramming in as many calories into my system as I possibly can."

"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 think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and you put the work and time into it. I think your mind really controls everything."

"I won't predict anything historic. But nothing is impossible."

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

"It's cool just because I've had this dream of changing the sport of swimming and it's finally happening."

"There is a one woman in China that claimed she paid $50 to get my e-mail address. It was pretty shocking. I got one this morning from Scotland. A girl's requesting a signed photo of me."

"You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get."
