This is my 20th year in the sport. Ive known swimming and thats it. I dont want to swim past age 30 if I continue after this Olympics, and come back in 2016, Ill be 31. Im looking forward to being able to see the other side of the fence. – Michael Phelps
Its cool just because Ive had this dream of changing the sport of swimming and its finally happening. – Michael Phelps
I have the opportunity to be part of swimming history. To take the sport to a new level would be an honor for me. Theres no better time to try this than now. – Michael Phelps
I want to be able to look back and say, Ive done everything I can, and I was successful. I dont want to look back and say I should have done this or that. Id like to change things for the younger generation of swimmers coming along. – Michael Phelps
Sydney in general is eclectic. You can be on that brilliant blue ocean walk in the morning and then within 20 minutes you can be in a completely vast suburban sprawl or an Italian or Asian suburb, and its that mix of people, its that melting pot of people that give it its vital personality. – Baz Luhrmann
