# Quote
1 [on rumors he turned down the lead in “Schindler’s List”]: You know, that’s one of those wonderful urban myths that I never try to completely discourage, just because it’s so flattering that anybody could ever believe that for a second I would turn down Steven Spielberg for a major motion picture, but that never happened. That’s the danger of Wikipedia and a lot of the Internet rumors that bubble up and won’t go away. Fortunately, that’s a good one. No, I was never offered the role of Oskar. I wasn’t even offered the role of Oscar Mayer! It didn’t happen.
2 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.
3 [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.
4 [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.
5 [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.
6 [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.
7 I thought it was a great departure for me. It’s quite the opposite of most of the things I’ve done.
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.
