More quotes by 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.

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
Eat, sleep and swim, that's all I can do.
Michael Phelps
Swimming is fun. It's a lot funner than golf.
Michael Phelps
Things can change in the blink of an eye!
