JUAN PABLO MONTOYA

You've gotta respect everybody. If they race hard against you, you've got to race hard against them. It's very simple; if there's respect both ways, there's no problem.

I get this a lot: 'Oh, can you take a picture with my baby? Can you hold the baby?' I don't want to hold your baby! I'll hold my baby. I don't like holding someone else's baby. I'm serious! You never know what could happen. It's such an awkward position you're put in, and it's like, 'No, sorry.'

I don't remember the first time I won. I remember the first time I lost, and it sucked. It was go-karts; I was, like, 6 years old.

Snowboarding is like driving a car. When things are all right, you're on it. But when things go wrong, it goes really, really bad really fast.

When people are nice to me, I'm nice to them.

When you plan something, it never works.

I really like the really high banked tracks.

Now, when it's time to get down to business, I get down to business.

In Colombia maybe 95% of the population follow Formula One. It's crazy.

I love the American way of life.

My reputation is aggressive this and aggressive that.

I'd rather have a hot dog than caviar.

I'm busy, man, too busy. There's a lamentable absence of free time.

Just take each race as it comes and have fun.

You know, I think in Europe NASCAR is not regarded as high as it should.

I think it's good for sports cars to be united, to be just one. I think it's good for the fans. When you have two different series, fans don't know which way to go, when you only have one I think it's good for the sport.

When people are nice to me, I'm nice to them.

I've made a lot of friends over the years through racing, but we weren't necessarily teammates.

When you plan something, it never works.

I get fit taking my bike out in the woods.
