Every now and then, you'll get one of those days when you're feeling rubbish or when you have to pretty much drag yourself out of bed to get to training. But then you'll see the Olympic pool, and all the excitement and adrenaline will come rushing back.

A sportsman is a man who every now and then, simply has to get out and kill something.

I just always really wanted to swim. It was always a family thing: dad obviously swam, and my sister did, too. And mum used to come along to meets. They had to drag me out of the pool - so there was never any pressure on me to swim. It was just something I loved doing.

I like to dress up every now and then.

If you want to change a country, you're going to be bumped every now and then.

I miss the guys. I don't get to see them often. We do get together in Houston now and then.
