I don't care how much you're working out; when you go to put on that bikini, you're like, 'Oh no!'

I enjoyed every bit of my swimming career. I think that's the most important advice - to enjoy what you do

I love to swim. When I jump in the water, I feel like I'm 12 years old again. It's really funny how it does that to me.

At 4, I joined a summer rec team called the Sugar Bears.

For me, music makes my smile brighter during my workouts. It adds that extra something that motivates me to go further or work harder!

At the end of a marathon, it's going to hurt whether you're speeding up or slowing down. You may as well push.

The first mile is mental. The rest are all heart.

Preparing mentally takes more out of you than the physical aspect of it.

I slice up a ton of cucumbers, celery, carrots and red and yellow peppers. Keep them in your fridge so you always have something handy to curb your snack attack.

Indoor pools just don't seem as inviting to me.

When I was younger, I would eat everything.

There are worse prisons than words.

Take responsibility and make a relationship the best it can be. We're all afraid of being hurt. Get rid of that fear. Be in the moment and enjoy the relationship - or you'll ruin it.

Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual.

I feel very lucky because I don't think there's any part I can't play. There are parts that scare me more than others.

If people want to criticize a performance, that I understand. I think that's important.

Look, if you're driving down the highway at 120 miles an hour, I'd rather be behind the wheel than in the backseat.

Sometimes, man must refuse to win, especially against the nature!

In television, you can leave so many things open-ended. For everything you wrap up, you can open another one or two.

Self-knowledge is like lost innocence; however unsettling you find it, it can never be 'unthought' or 'unknown'.

I don't work for money any longer. I work for pride.
