More quotes by Michael Phelps
Once I retire, I'm retiring. I'm done.
Michael Phelps
I want to be able to look back and say, 'I've done everything I can, and I was successful.' I don't want to look back and say I should have done this or that. I'd like to change things for the younger generation of swimmers coming along.
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 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'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
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!
Michael Phelps
Every day after I wake up, I think, 'Wait... this can't be real I'm still going to wake up.'
Michael Phelps
When you use your imagination anything can happen.
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 want to go to the World Cup. I want to go to the Masters. I want to go... anywhere.
Michael Phelps
If you say can't you're restricting what you can do or ever will do.
Michael Phelps
I try to separate my personal life from swimming.
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
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
Being able to do something that's never been done before, that's what I've always wanted to do. . . . There was nothing that was going to stand in my way of being the first.
Michael Phelps
My mom put me and my sisters in the water to feel comfortable, to have water safety.
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
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
I'm the same kind of guy before all this happened.
Michael Phelps
