More quotes by Michael Phelps

I don't want to be the next Mark Spitz I want to be the first Michael Phelps
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 treat every race the same. We all wanted to swim fast today and give something back to the crowd.
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've been able to get an excitement back in the water.
Michael Phelps
If you want to be the best you have to do things that other people aren't willing to do.
Michael Phelps
I consider myself normal. I've spent 20 years in the pool. I consider that something that's normal.
Michael Phelps
I don't have a strict diet. It's all about cramming in as many calories into my system as I possibly can. To be honest with you, I have a tough time keeping weight on.
Michael Phelps
I would visualize the best- and worst-case scenarios. Whether I get disqualified or my goggles fill up with water or I lose my goggles or I come in last, I'm ready for anything.
Michael Phelps
