More quotes by Michael Phelps

Michael Phelps
I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time.
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
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
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
I have the opportunity to be part of swimming history. To take the sport to a new level would be an honor for me. There's no better time to try this than now.
Michael Phelps
I want to go to the World Cup. I want to go to the Masters. I want to go... anywhere.
Michael Phelps
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
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
Nothing is impossible. With so many people saying it couldn't be done, all it takes is an imagination.
Michael Phelps
I try to separate my personal life from swimming.
Michael Phelps
