Alec Baldwin - biography

“I feel I’m two people: I have my interest in acting and I have a lot of other political interests I’d like to pursue.”

“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.”

“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.”

“To be in this business and have tremendous integrity and only make distinguished choices is very tough.”

“There are people who would rather choke than go see my movies.  They write me letters all the time.”

“I fucking hate LA.  People talk of LA as this Mecca of enlightened thinking.  I get out there and it’s a filthy hole.”

“I like to be naked in movies.  I’ve a reputation to uphold.”

“In New York, people aren’t impressed - unless you’re an athlete.  You can be the Pope and they’ll say: Hey, Pope, howya doin’?  Al Pacino walking down the street and it’s: ‘Hey, Al, the movie Author, Author!  - it sucked!’ But if you’re Mike Tyson, it’s: ‘Mike, I love ya.’”

“Bush wasn’t elected, he was selected - selected by five judges up in Washington who voted along party lines.”

“Cheney is a terrorist.  He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately.”

“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 the United States.”

“I wanted to be president of the United States.  I really did.  The older I get, the less preposterous the idea seems.”

“Remember, sex is like a Chinese dinner.  It ain’t over ’til you both get your cookie.”

“Doing these parts is not fun.  It’s challenging, but no fun.  It’s creepy.  I would rather play the guy that throws the touchdown pass and gets carried off the field.”

“Down with Dukes of Hazzard!”

“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.”
