“It’s like in golf. A lot of people — I don’t want this to sound trivial — but a lot of people are switching to these really long putters, very unattractive. It’s weird.

I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist.”
That’s right, he doesn’t want to make it sound trivial, but he could have just come out and said: “I believe marriage is between a rich guy and his much younger third wife.”
