More quotes by Michael Phelps
Dream as big as you can dream, and anything is possible.
Michael Phelps
Not having to travel and being able to settle in has helped me in training life and school life. I've learned to get a grip and take care of myself.
Michael Phelps
Being compared to Ian Thorpe, that could be one of the greatest compliments you could ever get in swimming - being compared to him and Mark Spitz.
Michael Phelps
My little son is already like me - my mom has always said I used to bounce off the wall and never stop talking or sit still. I'm starting to see that with him. I guess it's living proof he's part of me.
Michael Phelps
The only reason I started swimming was for water safety. Then, once I started falling in love with sports, I got more comfortable with 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'm satisfied in a way because this is an eye opener for me, ... I didn't have the success I've always been able to have. I learned a lot.
Michael Phelps
I consider myself normal. I've spent 20 years in the pool. I consider that something that's normal.
Michael Phelps
When I'm focused, there is not one single thing, person, anything that can stand in the way of my doing something. There is not. If I want something bad enough, I feel I'm gonna get there.
Michael Phelps
It's tough to put into words right now, but I finished my career how I wanted to. Through the ups and downs of my career I've still been able to do everything that I've ever wanted to accomplish.
Michael Phelps
Things can change in the blink of an eye!
