More quotes by Alec Baldwin
There's three things: there's masculinity, there's intelligence, there's sensitivity. You've got to bring those three things to a leading man's role: masculinity, sensitivity, intelligence. In some people, there's a little too much in the mix of one or the other.

Anderson Cooper has a job to do. And that job is to try to reinforce his credibility in the gay community after the fact that you couldn’t get him out of the closet for 10 years with a canister of tear gas. Now he’s the sheriff now he’s running around writing everybody a ticket!

Alec Baldwin
Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately.
Alec Baldwin
I'm not an awards-driven person in anything. Anytime you do get caught up in that, you usually end up getting whacked.
Alec Baldwin
There are people who would rather choke than go see my movies. They write me letters all the time.
Alec Baldwin
In the theater, you act more of the time. In the movies, you get to act maybe 20 or 30 minutes of the day. I love acting in movies. It's just different.

Rolling torture wagons for nature's most dignified creature.
Alec Baldwin
Great acting can be almost a psychotic mix of self-consciousness and unself-consciousness. And thats the terrible conflict. You have to be free to jump off into that volcano and you have to be pathologically self-conscious.
Alec Baldwin
