"Hollywood studios bury that stuff - actors who punch directors in the face and try to run producers over with cars - insanity, criminal behavior. But the studios are invested in that star, they can't have that person's name dirtied up."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"Men are literally lying in bed with their wives when the marriage is essentially over, thinking, 'I've got to get the hell out of here', and have a fantasy woman in mind. Then you get divorced, meet a woman, marry her, and by the time all that goes by, you've aged a few years and are ready to go back to your ex-wife."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"Look at the shows that are really successful on Broadway. They're musicals. They're things that a woman will pick out the tickets for, or a man will buy the tickets with a woman in mind. It's a date. It's boyfriend-girlfriend, husband-wife. That's what the theater in New York has become."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I think Jerry Lee is sad. As a musician, he was far more talented than Elvis Presley. Everybody down in Memphis knows that. Elvis became a movie star because he was beautiful. Not that Elvis wasn't talented, but Jerry Lee Lewis was incomprehensibly talented as a musician."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I haven't changed, but public life has. It used to be you'd go into a restaurant, and the owner would say, 'Do you mind if I take a picture of you and put it on my wall?' Sweet and simple. Now, everyone has a camera in their pocket."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I've had a relatively charmed life. I loved to be out in the city. New York was my town. I've had people come up to me and say, 'You're a great New Yorker. You've given your time and money to so many New York charities. You're a great supporter of the arts. I like some of your movies - and some of your movies suck, actually.'"
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"There are some times when you make films and you travel places, and the take that people in the business have is that the worst way to see a city is to shoot there, because you work these long 12, 13 and 14-hour days, and you go home to the hotel, you eat, and you pass out."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"People don't understand this: if you want to have a really good shot at succeeding, there are doors you have to slam in people's faces and say, 'This is my priority, and you can't depend on me to help you.' I was never good at that."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"As my friend said to me, when you have children, typically in a second marriage, when you're older and you get married again to a woman who would have children, you must always remember that you make sure the children attend a college where the commencement ceremonies are held in a facility with a wheelchair accessible ramp."
Quote by -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."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I was in college in Washington, D.C. I did three years full-time. I did all my requirements, and my senior year was really a gut year. And I said, 'Law school will always be there.' I was in no hurry to get right into that."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I remember during my lifetime I would meet women, and it was almost like God would say to me, 'Now, this woman here is not the one you are going to end up with, but she is going to be a lot like this woman; look at this woman, study this woman.' And when my wife showed up, He was like, 'You recognize her now?'"
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"Often in films, you have no idea where you're going to be six months from now. And I grew very weary of that. And television, although it wasn't necessarily as creatively diverse as filmmaking can be, it was the lifestyle choice that I needed to make."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"A lot of people want to not wear a tie when they go to a restaurant. They feel they don't have to wear a tie. I think it's kind of a statement they're making. I don't know what that statement is. I haven't quite figured that out yet."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I never thought of myself as a wealthy person. I've thought of myself as a person who has had a lot of luck. I don't have the same stress that other people have, but there are too many things I could have done differently if wealth was what I was after. If I was all about money, I would have lived in L.A."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I know there's an impression that I'm someone who seeks to have violent confrontations with people. I don't. Do I regret screaming at some guy who practically clipped my kid in the head with the lens of a camera? Yeah, I probably do, because it's only caused me problems."
Quote by -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."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I did not have a happy family life a few years ago. I was divorced, and I was very alienated from my daughter, and I was out there cutting every ribbon and running around New York hosting events for different causes to supplant my loss because I didn't have a family to go home to. Now I don't want to be Mr. Show Business anymore."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I know some people who live this much more insulated life in Los Angeles, where their feet never touch public ground. They walk out of their bathroom, their living room, they get into their garage, their car, and the next thing you know, they're at the valet parking of the restaurant or the store or the office. They're in a bubble the whole time."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I started out as an actor, where you seek to understand yourself using the words of great writers and collaborating with other creative people. Then I slid into show business, where you seek only an audience's approval whether you deserve it or not."
Quote by -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."
Quote 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."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"Manhattan is like Beverly Hills. And the soul of New York has moved to Brooklyn, where everything new and exciting seems to be."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"Remember, sex is like a Chinese dinner. It ain't over 'til you both get your cookie."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I hope people will learn more about agriculture in America. About locally grown farming and about water conservation. About how much pollution results from beef and pig farming."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"Twitter and Tumblr and Vine and Instagram and Facebook and Myspace, all these things are social media tools that we were all told we had to have, and what we're realizing is that, no you don't! No you don't."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"There's a way I could have done things differently. I know that. If I offended anyone along the way, I do apologize."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"My whole life is classical now. Except my wife. I don't have a classical wife. I have a classy wife, but I don't have a classical wife."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"There's less critical thinking going on in this country on a Main Street level - forget about the media - than ever before. We've never needed people to think more critically than now, and they've taken a big nap."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"Success begets success. I've been offered a lot of movies now that '30 Rock' has been successful."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I don't try to communicate with my 'audience'. I don't bother with that any more. I used to try to have conversations with people, but it's futile."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"The campaign finance scandal in America is the global warming of American political life - with cash substituting for deadly solar radiation."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I think I'm just like a lot of people who had nothing. We had to amuse ourselves, so we had to become amusing."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"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."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"Nobody cares about your autograph. There are cameras everywhere, and there are media outlets for them to 'file their story'."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"My wife is the greatest person I have ever known. She is just a living doll; she is great person and a great mom. We have a girl and a boy, and we are going to have another boy."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I have been driven to the edge by parental alienation for many years now. You have to go through this to understand."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I'm the kind of person who does not want to be anywhere that I'm not wanted."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"The wealthy don't have any sense of humor. It's not like the English, where the theater is perhaps the one place where they have a sense of humor about themselves."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I have my older daughter Ireland and my wife Hilaria, and I have Carmen and Rafael."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
"I think about how much I used to work and how much I used to make that the priority."
Quote by -Alec Baldwin
