“I just love cheese. So that’s what I get when I go out somewhere. I order quesadillas. My wife will say, ‘Don’t get quesadillas.’ It’s primitive, isn’t it? I’ll have a quesadilla and a coffee, please. And I go to some places now where I live, and they don’t even ask me anymore. They just bring it out. [Laughs]”
