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 learned how fast you can go from being an international hero to being a reference in a joke on a late night talk show.
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.
Every day after I wake up, I think, 'Wait... this can't be real; I'm still going to wake up.'
There's a handful of situations already in two games - some hits I don't need to take - and I'm taking them because I'm stringing out the play.
And if you have high cholesterol, you would feel the same as if you had low cholesterol because there are no side effects, no symptoms of having high cholesterol.
I always have a lot of personal goals, but primarily my main goal each year is to obviously win a Super Bowl.
My ultimate goal is for that next generation coming up, who didn't see me play, go, 'Oh, he used to play football?'
We're our own worst enemy. You doubt yourself more than anybody else ever will. If you can get past that, you can be successful.
The fact that we're in the playoffs doesn't mean anything to us, to be honest with you. Hopefully, we can accomplish our goal of going into the playoffs on a winning note.
With the players Madden is definitely king and that's probably why it's been one of the top selling games all these years and will probably continue to be.

The harsh cold and windburn from hours of skiing does a lot of damage to my skin, so I try to keep my skin as moisturized as possible.
People tell me an Olympic medal is a life-changing event. Except I don't even think about the medal unless someone asks about it.
I'm sure there's a right way and there's a wrong way. The bottom line is you have to do what you think is right.
The thing that I want to do, the most important thing to me is winning. How we do it, I really don't care.
Players have responsibility, and if they don't do their job, certain things happen. Coaches have responsibility. If they don't do their job, things happen.
I've always learned when you win a game, no matter what the stats look like, you have to enjoy the victories because they are hard to come by.
I don't really ever worry about what anyone else does and I certainly don't worry about what anyone else says about me.
We don't get groupies, well I don't see them, anyway. That was something that I always looked forward to and am constantly disappointed by the lack of!
Sitting beside the pool is fine for two weeks, but after that I think it'd be quite hard to live with - so I need to keep racing.
