Vor einigen Jahren erzählte mir der Schriftsteller Russell Banks, dass er den antiken griechischen Historiker Herodotus las. Ich fragte warum. Er sagte: "Weil ich es immer wollte und bin es leid, dass ich meine Lesung zugewiesen bekommen habe." Ich fand es eine wunderbare Unabhängigkeitserklärung.

I couldn't beat Michael Phelps. A couple of years ago, I was racing against him and it just kinda dawned on me during the race that there was no chance I was gonna beat this guy. And so I said, if you can't beat him, find a race that he won't swim.

Number one, it was a chance to thank my parents, because they passed away a couple of years ago. They gave me so much by giving me the opportunity to play soccer, and I wanted to share the story we had together.
