(on 'Canada's Got Talent') Diplomacy is not exciting. When I watch a performance, I react to it on an emotional level and I don't prepare what I'm going to say. If I can help to find some great talent, I would feel like I was giving something back. Am I mean? No. I think we're an awfully nice bunch of judges. Too nice? We'll let Canada decide.
