Personal Quotes (8)



[Of Tracey Gold 's family]: The Gold family has always been a role model. Harry and Bonnie Gold make the Seavers look like the Manson family.

I thought it was a great departure for me. It's quite the opposite of most of the things I've done.





[on analyzing Ozzy Osbourne about The Family Dog]: Seaver, who was a psychiatrist, would have reprimanded his children. It's the child's role in the family to take care of the dog.

[on his second rocky marriage]: It's not a fait accomplice, but the signs are pointing in the direction of a failed marriage. I think this is a disgrace. We had no problems that, in my opinion, mature, committed adults shouldn't be able to solve.



[Who got married a third time in 2005]: I'll be on my third honeymoon, so I'm more of an authority than I care to be.





[on his on- and off-screen chemistry with Joanna Kerns , who played Maggie Seaver]: We never went on a date, but we had chemistry, which our unrequited romance preserved for the entire show.

I play every week and I guess I used to be a better puck-ducker. During one of the pick-up games, I got in the way of a slap shot and it cost me five teeth and 30 stitches both inside the mouth and outside.
