Watch Montel in
Montel's Beliefs:
My own beliefs are fairly straightforward, and not uncommon. If you believe in something else, that's fine. If you reject any of my beliefs, that's fine too, but here they are: I believe in God. I believe in love and family. I believe in education. I believe in hard work and dedication. I believe in restraint, responsibility and respect. I believe in love and romance. And I believe in setting goals and reaching them. There is nothing you can't do if you set your mind to it.

On Faith:
If you have faith, you can move mountains. If you have faith in something bigger than yourself - in God, community, family, whatever - then anything is possible. Faith alone will give you the strength to clear any obstacle in your way.

On Responsibility:
I don't believe that things happen by mistake. If you ask
me, things happen because you make them happen. Things happen for a reason. God gave me the ability to stand on my feet and speak my piece, and it was up to me to put these tools to use. Whether by accident or design, I'd discovered that I could talk to kids in trouble and turn them around, and there was no denying it. Even if I could only make a difference for one student every time out, I had an obligation to that one student, and I could not turn my back on it.
