“I don�t really notice it. When I go out, go to dinner, I go out with friends, and we stay to ourselves. I don�t think of myself as a sex symbol. My mom is by far the most important woman in my life.”

– Eight-time Olympic gold medal winner Michael Phelps on the sudden increase in female attention directed towards him these days. Phelps was speaking at the unveiling of his new Kellogg’s cereal boxes, which was held at his hometown pool in Baltimore. He also said that he’s going to be focusing on his newly-formed charity, the Michael Phelps Foundation, which promotes youth swimming programs, until he begins training for the 2012 Olympic games.
