Kevin O'Leary:  You know , people say I 'm the mean _ one _ but it 's so unfair a characterization . The truth is I 'm Mr. Wonderful and here 's why : I 'm pre - programmed to only speak the truth . I ca n't lie to anybody . It 's impossible for me to tell them something that is erroneous . And so being forced this way from birth to only tell the truth makes my answers honest and pure . I 'm the white light versus the dark and sinister way of trying to keep people encouraged without giving them money , which I find my other Dragons often do . There 's nothing more sinister and dark than encouraging a really stupid idea .
