Michael Phelps Quotations | Page 2

Things can change in the blink of an eye!

At a very young age, I wrote down the goals that I had so I could always see what I wanted to accomplish. And I would look at that goal sheet and think "I still want to do this."So I'd decide "I'm not quitting."

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.

[Phelps] firmly denies that he takes drugs, suggesting that the notorious photo of him smoking from a bong was a one-time lapse of judgment.

It's not how you start, but it's how you finish.

I want to go to the World Cup. I want to go to the Masters. I want to go... anywhere.

Swimming is fun. It's a lot funner than golf.

I'm the same kind of guy before all this happened.

I think sometimes I guess you see records, say you want to get there and use that as motivation. In a way, it's kind of cool if there is a possibility to rewrite history and be up there with the greats of Olympic history.

I love to race the best people in the world and the fastest people in the world.
