I just love Rome. It really does cast a spell on you.
Alec Baldwin
Image
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.

I believe we can balance the scales if Tom Cruise would lower his quote by a mere $29 million... I assure you my salary would not make a difference. My annual salary is the budget for Altoids on one of Tom's movies.

To be in this business and have tremendous integrity and only make distinguished choices is very tough.
Alec Baldwin
Image
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.

I don't think I really have a talent for movie acting.
Alec Baldwin
Image
I think the older I've gotten the more, like most people, my appreciation shifts towards things that are very difficult, where you see people who have put in tremendous hours and hours of commitment.

Image
Soaps are the best. They really are. If you can do a soap, well, you can do anything. You have to learn pages of dialogue very quickly.

Bush wasn't elected, he was selected - selected by five judges up in Washington who voted along party lines.
Alec Baldwin
Image
When you're with someone, you want everything to be great. And that's the pressure that you put on, and what you just can't do.
Alec Baldwin
Image
I wish I could play the lead role in one movie, one great movie.
Alec Baldwin
Image
Everybody I've ever worked with - 99.9 percent of the time, I've had a successful or very agreeable experience with.
Alec Baldwin
Image
New York City is a mismanaged carnival of stupidity that is desperate for revenue and anxious to criminalize behavior once thought benign.
Alec Baldwin
Image
My life, in some ways, has been a half-measure. I didn't commit myself all the way to my marriage and family, because I would have given up more. And I didn't go all the way with just being completely selfish. I always wonder where my career would be if I was more selfish.

I think my exact comment was that if Bush won it would be a good time to leave the United States. I'm not necessarily going to leave the United States.

How can we turn our back on an endeavor which increases our children's cultural intelligence, heightens individual sensitivity and deepens our collective sense of humanity? I suggest to you that we cannot.

Ultraconservatism is, to me, so illogical. Everywhere you go, conservatives want to cut, cut, cut, cut - cut money for powerless people. So, that's the biggest problem I have with them.
