My mother and father, Joe and Theresa Montana brought me along and taught me to never quit, and to strive to be the best.
Winners, I am convinced, imagine their dreams first. They want it with all their heart and expect it to come true. There is, I believe, no other way to live.
I don't live in the past. I just live in the enjoyment of the game.
You need to be able to work with people. Especially in football, it is not a QB's game... even though the media likes to make it into that - it takes the whole team.
Any quarterback that understands what the offense is really about is going to succeed.
