Alec Baldwin Biography

On himself:

“I was very competitive with my brothers when I was younger. Now we are all in completely different worlds.” 

“I feel like I am two different people. I have an interest in acting, and I also have a lot of political interests that I’d like to pursue.”

On acting:

“One day you’re filling out applications to be a waiter, and the next day you’re nominated for an Oscar. This business is ridiculous!”

“The world is becoming unravelled, and we’re making movies. Let’s all relax!”

“Much of the most delicate work being done today is on television. It often has the best acting, because of their ability to be truthful."

“I don’t want my ass kissed when I work, but I don’t want people to treat me in a real reductive way, either.”

His relationships:

“I was in love with Kim Basinger when I married her. I’m not ashamed to say, I used to wake up in the morning and just look at her and say “What do you want for breakfast, baby? Special K with blueberries? Let me go and get some.”

“I’ve never hit a woman in my life. I had a wrestling match with a woman once. I shoved her, but I never hurt her.”

On politics:

“Everything that Bush touches turns to manure in public policy.“

“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.”

“I’m very patriotic. I’m an arch-patriot. When they play “The Star-Spangled Banner”, I get all choked up. I love my country.”
