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
Image
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
Image
Obviously for water safety, you want to learn just to be comfortable in the water that's the main goal. I think the second that you start freaking out and feeling uncomfortable, it's not going to go well.
Michael Phelps
Image
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
Image
I have reached a place in my life where I need to sit down and say, 'Well, what do I do? What's best for me?' I need to look into options for the future.
Michael Phelps

Records are always made to be broken no matter what they are. Anybody can do anything that they set their mind to.
Michael Phelps

I don't like to be second in anything. I was trying, I just wasn't going anywhere.

Michael Phelps

I like to get in my own world. When I'm getting ready for a meet, I always have headphones on, listening to rap music to get myself fired up
Michael Phelps
Image
Yeah, my friends call me Mike, Michael or just my last name.
Michael Phelps
Image
Other nights ... I visualize to the point that I know exactly what I want to do: dive, glide, stroke, flip, reach the wall, hit the split time to the hundredth, then swim back again for as many times as I need to finish the race.
Michael Phelps
Image
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.

If you put your mind to anything that you dream, you can achieve it.
Michael Phelps
Image
My strategy is that I actually have absolutely no strategy.
Michael Phelps
Image
Dream as big as you can dream, and anything is possible.
Michael Phelps
Image
Once I retire, I'm retiring. I'm done.
Michael Phelps
Image
I want to go to the World Cup. I want to go to the Masters. I want to go... anywhere.
Michael Phelps
Image
This is the first medal I've ever won in an international meet. For it to be gold is incredible. It feels great. I can't explain it.
