I was the official wedding photographer at one of my best friends' weddings. Fortunately she was one of the most easygoing brides ever, so she made it easy for me.

I live in a swimsuit so I'm really comfortable with my body.

Without goals, training has no direction.

I actually love swimming but I just hate jumping in the water.

I generally wake up at 4:30, have breakfast No. 1, then get to the pool by 5 a.m.

I don't have any superstitions, but what I always travel with is my pillow and my coffee.

I'm up before 5 a.m., I have breakfast, then swimming, Pilates, weight training, and physical therapy. I'm constantly going from one thing to the next. Everyone is busy, but that's my busy.

When I was little, I wasn't so little. I had a big old round belly and I was really clumsy, but I was super confident.

There's an adage that a lot of coaches have, that I completely disagree with, is if you make the Olympic team too early you become complacent.

The pressure of the Olympic Games is real overwhelming.

Pilates is an awesome cross-training exercise for any sport because it focuses on functional movement.

La prueba de ausencia no es prueba de ausencia

Kindness can transform someone's dark moment with a blaze of light. You'll never know how much your caring matters. Make a difference for another today.

If the butterfly wings its way to the sweet light that attracts it, it's only becasue it doesn't know that the fire can consume it.

How my heart missed beating like this. For him. Only for him.

I hope I will always have the chance to play the violin.

Art is an absolute mistress; she will not be coquetted with or slighted; she requires the most entire self-devotion, and she repays with grand triumphs.

There is no event so common place but that God is present within it, always hidden, always leaving you room to recognize Him or not to recognize Him.

May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

God, the king of artists, was clumsy.

I helped Messi and I know he will do the same with Neymar.
