Alan Thicke's Quotes

  • [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.
