More quotes by Michael Phelps
My mom never really pushed me into doing something. It was kind of whatever I wanted to do, and that was what made me continue and have the longevity that I had in my career. I went through ups and downs in the pool when I loved it and when I hated it.
Michael Phelps
My mom put me and my sisters in the water to feel comfortable, to have water safety.

Michael Phelps
And, you know, being able to wear the stars and stripes, when you step up on one of the blocks or, you know, when you step off of an airplane or when you hear the national anthem play, you know, it's one of the greatest feelings in the world because you know that there are people at home who are supporting you and watching you.
Michael Phelps
Anything is possible as long as you want it, you work for it. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, the only person that can really put pressure on you is yourself
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
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

Michael Phelps
At a very young age, I wrote down the goals that I had so I could always see what I wanted to accomplish. And I would look at that goal sheet and think I still want to do this.So I'd decide I'm not quitting.
Michael Phelps
I consider myself normal. I've spent 20 years in the pool. I consider that something that's normal.
Michael Phelps
My strategy is that I actually have absolutely no strategy.
