I'm just an all-around happy girl who loves everything about her life.

A huge part of swimming for me is I love it, and it is so much fun.

Sometimes we complain, but there is something beautiful about waking up before everyone to get better at what we love.

The goal is to keep having fun. Not let that pressure get to me and still be Missy.

For me, it seems to help me take the pressure off if I don't pay attention to what other people are telling me.

I'm always so excited about what I do that I try to get everyone to feel that way.

I haven't even thought about a world record. I just want to go out there and have fun. I think when you focus too much on the numbers, you don't see anything that's out there.

Hopefully I don't annoy people too much.

I don't think about the trials and the Olympics a lot. If I do, it's just going to stress me out and get me worried.

I don't like watching myself on TV, I don't like reading about myself.

For right now, I still believe that college is what's going to make me the happiest girl.

Every great love starts with a great story...

When you smile and no one else is around, you definitely mean it.

Looking back you realize that a very special person passed briefly through your life and that person was you. It is not too late to become that person again.

Christmas isn't a parade or concert but a piece of home you keep in your heart wherever you go.

You can't focus on other people's careers. Everybody is different.

Being patted is what it is all about.

Evil is often supposed to be without rhyme or reason.

Genuine Work alone, what thou workest faithfully, that is eternal, as the Almighty Founder and World-Builder himself.

Past tense offers authority, distance, and present tense offers emotional immediacy.

Whoever supports the farmer is the guy for America.
