“There’s a part of me when I signed to do [Season] 7, I said let’s do 8, 9 and 10 while we’re at it,” (… )”I mean, where am I going to go to have this much of a good time?”
Alec Baldwin on Letterman
“You truly are one of the most talented and versatile actors of our time, and it was an absolute pleasure getting to see you naked during shooting.”
Meryl Streep
“When Alec came to me, I knew from the very beginning when he walked in, that here was somebody with talent. (…) There was some energy, something about him that was totally free and ingratiating.”
Andy Anselmo, Alec Baldwin’s former vocal teacher
“Alec is a very skilled comic actor. There’s no piece of dialogue he can’t turn for you; he’s able to bend the speeches in the script into exactly the shape they’re meant to be, and then he manages to add something to it with just the right gesture—a look, an eye movement, a nod.”
Nancy Meyers on Alec
“I am still playing Words With Friends — but now on Virgin Atlantic.”
Alec Baldwin
“I’m still scared to speak out. I want Season 7 [of 30 Rock] really badly.”
Alec Baldwin, on if there was ever a time he was afraid to speak out politically
“Well, the thing is — every time he’s in a movie he’s spectacular. The greatest thing, that I am so happy for and happy for the entire world, really, is the moment he discovered comedy. It doesn’t just have to be in the [“30 Rock” character] Jack Donaghy suit.”
Adam Shankman on Alec.
He also talked about Alec’s hair in Rock of Ages. :)
“When I hosted the Oscars, Steve was a big help.”
Alec Baldwin, Monologue
“This is my 16th time hosting, which means tonight I’m passing Steve Martin and setting a new record for the most times hosting SNL. … Now a lot of people make a big deal about the record. I don’t really care about that, it’s not a competition, because if it was a competition…I’ve won.”
Alec Baldwin
Alec in his speech at the NYU Presidential Welcome (9/1/2011)
“I love Alec Baldwin. He’s one of the best things this country has ever produced.”
Dick Cavett on Alec Baldwin (Source)
“[Gossip is] probably the thing that makes me the most sad… Even educated people read Gawker and Defamer and all this other crap, and it’s a world of people who have small lives, and their whole thing is to have this ledge that they can spit down on people from.”
Alec Baldwin
“Great acting can be almost a psychotic mix of self-consciousness and unself-consciousness. And that’s the terrible conflict. You have to be free to jump off into that volcano and you have to be pathologically self-conscious.”
Alec Baldwin
“Making movies is a little too self-conscious. [On the show] we do the job, we have fun, we work hard and we work fast, but nobody believes we’re the London Symphony Orchestra. When I’ve done films lately, the amount of self-importance and anxiety that accompanies film-making has become a little too much for me. When you’re with great people, moviemaking is great. But they aren’t many great people out there. And the rest of it is tiresome.”
