View Photo »I am really, really pleased ... I try not to listen to whatever anyone says. There is always something to fire me up. I welcome all the comments. Bring them on. It will help me swim faster in the future.
The 2012 Games will be the last for Michael Phelps and Natalie Coughlin – they both have indicated that. They are the most-celebrated male and female swimmers of all time. But Ryan Lochte could be the big story
Being able to do three races in 50 minutes, I'm very pleased
My dad was talking about that and he asked if I remember when Michael Phelps won one of his goal medals by .01 seconds. He then asked if I remembered who finished second ... I don't think I'll be remembered as much as Nick Morris, and he deserves that.
All of the memories are really hitting me ... It's kind of weird closing everything down.
We feel that Michael Phelps is a great ambassador for confidence -- when performing at the highest level of sport, there is simply no room for doubt.
Your body is under a lot of stress, and it's a lot of pain
Michael Phelps is a three-time Olympian and one of the most iconic global athletes of our time
We're in the same kind of boat ... She's a teammate of mine, she's a friend of mine and you always want people to do their best, so whatever she needs I'm here for her.
Swimming against the best in the world and getting to swim against Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte. If you want to win Olympic gold, you have to beat those swimmers.
I try not to listen to whatever anyone says
In a country where eight is a lucky number, Michael Phelps’ improbable quest for a record eight gold medals hinged on teammate Jason Lezak's anchor leg swim…By eight lucky and dramatic hundredths of a second, Lezak out-touched the trash-talking French, shattering the world record, and delivering Phelps ...
I need to probably be in better physical shape, I need to probably add maybe five more pounds of muscle, small things, turns, kick outs, just little tiny things.

Knowing that I'm in the best suit has always been something that I thought was a cool gift
There might have been a more spectacular and thoroughly dominant manner in which Michael Phelps could have begun his Olympics on Sunday morning
Records are always made to be broken, in my eyes that's not a question
Michael Phelps vs. Ryan Lochte
Records are always made to be broken. In my eyes, that’s not a question
It makes me feel completely at one with the water
Everything is possible. That's something I have learnt in my career. There are no limits if you want to go out and do it then you just go out and do it. If you have that thought process, that you think you can do it, then you can do it. You're going to see a lot of fast swims and hopefully we're going t...
People have got to get out of their heads that these records are untouchable
And that's the fun part ... I actually enjoy training. I enjoy working out. I want to be there because I want to be better.
Every time I get into the pool, I want to race, I want to win
It hasn't been easy ... For me to be able to do something I have to be able to give 100 per cent and over the past few years, I have to be honest, I haven't given 100 per cent. That has shown in my results and there have been lots of times when I just didn't want to do it anymore.
