I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.

Michael Phelps

Michael Phelps
I consider myself normal. I've spent 20 years in the pool. I consider that something that's normal.
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.
Michael Phelps
When I'm focused, there is not one single thing, person, anything that can stand in the way of my doing something. There is not. If I want something bad enough, I feel I'm gonna get there.
Michael Phelps
