Quotes About Jack Klugman and Marriage:

Gloria Sugarman: "She [Brett] considers Klugman a great guy, but a loner who never should have been married."

Jack: "Some say a wife would fill it -- but that's not for me. I was never meant to be married -- and my wife [Brett] know that now. I also know that if I did ever decide to marry again, it would be to her ... We get along better now than we ever did. But I like the single life. I like my condominium at the beach. I don't want to be tied down."

Jack: "She [Brett] told a friend that I left because, 'He wanted his freedom whatever that means,' And that about sums it up. There was no one else involved. It was just, well, Brett's a strong woman, and suddenly I realized I'd be happier setting my own mood, leading a life as a loner ... I don't really know what happened to us. I do know I owe her a lot. But I've got to do what makes me happy now ... Why divorce? Who wants to remarry? Things are fine this way, an easy relationship with Brett, the same joint checking account we always had. Except now I'm free to be me."
