He told the Canadian broadcaster that he believes "in being loving with [his] kids", despite the need, sometimes, to be "to be stern about stuff".
"I mean, there's no way around it with kids. I don't like to have to lay down the law and stuff like that. But, [sometimes] you just have no choice," he added.
"And any parent, I think, would say the same thing. You always want to do the right thing by the children and give them the benefit of the doubt but sometimes you can't."
