The advice I will give my children, if and when they have Olympic aspirations, will be to go for it. ↗

It's kind of nice in some ways having an Olympic Trials where I finished second. You can kind of go in more under the radar facing a 2:03 guy and facing a lot of dudes who are faster than I am, whereas, before Beijing, I had one of the top 10 times in the field, or something like that. ↗

But it is nice to know that you have other races lined up, because sometimes you can get so focused on your next marathon that it can become kind of unhealthy in some ways. So it's nice to have something else to slap you in the face and say, all right, there is life after the Olympics. ↗

I really didn't feed off the whole Olympic experience at all, and I regret that from an athletic perspective, and also from a personal experience. I feel like I missed out, so I'm not going to do that this time. ↗

You dream about the Olympics for so long and you have that one day, then it's over, and when you don't run well there is this huge letdown. It took me years to deal with that. I feel like I almost had to cleanse myself of that experience. ↗

If you dream and you allow yourself to dream you can do anything. And that's what this Olympic medal represents. ↗

It was a dream of mine to be an Olympic champion but not a lifelong goal. ↗

It's my dream, my goal to be good at Olympics, anywhere they are in the world. ↗

I'm trying to focus on the 100 and 200 breaststroke now. There's no point concentrating on the 50 when it's not in the Olympics. I'm not going to quit the 50 but it's not my priority any more. I'll do it but as part of my bid for gold at the other distances. ↗

I think if I am to win an Olympic medal I'll have to score like I did today. ↗
