One of the ideas I came up with was to do a worldwide search for a singer on TV. We discussed how we would do it — there was no such thing as reality shows then.

He didn't give me any tips to my face he might have said to a few people afterwards that I should quit. I'm nowhere near the quality of anyone on their show!

He seemed to have the whole package. Canada must be proud of him.

Sometimes I hear it in his voice, but anyway, at the end of the day he's the shiny bumper bar.

The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.

I love the ideas of looking back to historical heroes to give us inspiration on how we can be today's heroes to move forward in the future. So guys like... William Bradford and William Wallace, the Bravehearts, the Patriots, the Pilgrims. There are so many of those people throughout history... whose stories have just never been told.
