More quotes by Michael Phelps
What does God mean to me? I guess I was made the way I am for some reason, and I've been able to find the talent I have, and I've been able to use it, so I'm grateful for that. I believe in God [but] I'm not saying I'm highly religious.
Michael Phelps
People say to me, 'You're so lucky. You get to see the world.' But I don't. I go to the hotel and to the pools and back again. That's it.
Michael Phelps
Other nights ... I visualize to the point that I know exactly what I want to do: dive, glide, stroke, flip, reach the wall, hit the split time to the hundredth, then swim back again for as many times as I need to finish the race.
Michael Phelps
Every day after I wake up, I think, 'Wait... this can't be real I'm still going to wake up.'

This is the first medal I've ever won in an international meet. For it to be gold is incredible. It feels great. I can't explain it.
Michael Phelps
I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.
Michael Phelps
I always have on my headphones to block out all of the other distractions and I'm just focused on doing the best that I can.... There a few of them ... DMX Party Up ... Mack 10 BC and Ice Cube Connected for Life. I also listen to the Eminem CD ...whichever song really gets me going that night
Michael Phelps
Records are always made to be broken no matter what they are. Anybody can do anything that they set their mind to.
Michael Phelps
I think the biggest things I am looking forward to is getting new faces into the sport. Getting kids who could be afraid of water to feel comfortable in the pool.
Michael Phelps
I think to be - for me to be an American is - you know, it's one of the greatest things in the world for - you know, for me just because I've been able to grow up with everything. The freedom. You know, in my eyes this is the greatest country in the world.
Michael Phelps
If I didn't swim my best, I'd think about it at school, at dinner, with my friends. It would drive me crazy.
Michael Phelps
My mom put me and my sisters in the water to feel comfortable, to have water safety.
Michael Phelps
I wanted to get the fastest time in the world this year, but with everything going on, it's a pretty decent swim, ... I knew I was under world record pace. You could tell by the crowd. You can always tell at these meets when something good is going on because of the crowd.
Michael Phelps
If you say can't you're restricting what you can do or ever will do.
Michael Phelps
So, you know, if, if I wanted to get up and just play golf one day, I would just get up and play golf. If I wanted to go to Vegas, I would just get up and go to Vegas.
Michael Phelps
I want to go to the World Cup. I want to go to the Masters. I want to go... anywhere.
Michael Phelps
You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.
