Michael Phelps
Being compared to Ian Thorpe, that could be one of the greatest compliments you could ever get in swimming - being compared to him and Mark Spitz.

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
Once I retire, I'm retiring. I'm done.
Michael Phelps
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
I treat every race the same. We all wanted to swim fast today and give something back to the crowd.
Michael Phelps
If you want to be the best you have to do things that other people aren't willing to do.
Michael Phelps
It's the Olympics. If you can't get up to swim early in the morning, don't go.
