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.

More quotes by Alec Baldwin
You have actors who begin at a certain young age and there's very little change in their technique and the depth of their performances they're the same 30 years later.
Alec Baldwin
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.
Alec Baldwin
I'm a pretty loyal person.
Alec Baldwin
Never go with a hippie to a second location.
Alec Baldwin
For better or ill, I was very heavily influenced by men I knew who always dressed formally.
Alec Baldwin
Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately.
Alec Baldwin
Let's face facts, this is visual medium, there's a very high premium put on people who are good-looking. But the minute you rely on that you get yourself in trouble. You certainly don't make a career out of that anymore as an actor.
Alec Baldwin
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
To be in this business and have tremendous integrity and only make distinguished choices is very tough.
Alec Baldwin
There are people who would rather choke than go see my movies. They write me letters all the time.
Alec Baldwin
I had a marriage that I came to in the same way everybody else comes to a marriage. We all take chances when we get married.
Alec Baldwin
I wish I could play the lead role in one movie, one great movie.
Alec Baldwin
Most women in leading roles are very boyish looking. The one girl working right now who I think is a real beauty in a classic sense - the only real 12-cylinder engine - is Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Alec Baldwin
Bush wasn't elected, he was selected - selected by five judges up in Washington who voted along party lines.
Alec Baldwin
I probably have to move out of New York. I just can’t live in New York anymore.
Alec Baldwin
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.
Alec Baldwin
I never walked out the door and said, Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest Baldwin brother of them all?
Alec Baldwin
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.
Alec Baldwin
When I get onstage in a play, I feel very safe, very protected, very fulfilled.
Alec Baldwin
We both grew into the people we wanted each other to be.
Alec Baldwin
