More quotes by Alec Baldwin
I'm the kind of person who does not want to be anywhere that I'm not wanted.
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
One generation might like you, then 15 years later the next is responding to somebody else.
Alec Baldwin
Paul McCartney is a genius ... Paul married Rock & Roll to beauty, and forever raised the bar for composers, musicians, and fans ... an incredible solo performer ... the creator of our favorite songs.
Alec Baldwin
I collect travel alarm clocks. I was in a flea market in France once, in 1994, and I opened up this beautiful Jaeger-LeCoultre folding eight-day winding clock folded into a beautiful case, and I went, 'Wow, man.' And I've been collecting travel alarm clocks since 1994.
Alec Baldwin
I'm a pretty loyal person.
Alec Baldwin
There are people who would rather choke than go see my movies. They write me letters all the time.
Alec Baldwin
I consider myself a pretty good conversationalist, but you wind up being downgraded to idiot status when you don't speak the language!
Alec Baldwin
I would like to devote myself to the cause of parental alienation.
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
I think I'm just like a lot of people who had nothing.
Alec Baldwin
I am so much of a mind now to be in the audience, to watch and to experience, and to feel, rather than having to get up and perform, I want my life to be less about performing.
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
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.
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.
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'm not an awards-driven person in anything. Anytime you do get caught up in that, you usually end up getting whacked.
Alec Baldwin
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.
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 I am sitting home, and I am happy and I have my TV show and I don't need to work and I'm married now and I like to be in line by my pool with my yoga instructor wife and eating fruit and taking in the sun, then life is good.
Alec Baldwin
