I never walked out the door and said, \"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who\'s the fairest Baldwin brother of them all?\"
I was very competitive with my brothers when I was younger. Now we are all in completely different worlds. Im not in direct competition with my brothers for anything, ever. Stephen and I and Billy and I are better at staying in touch with each other. Danny is married, he has a new baby and he is very peripatetic, he goes to golfing tournaments and charity things. He really travels a lot.
Do I regret getting married? It\'s hard for me to say anything because ultimately we\'re talking about the mother of my child.
If Obama was white, he'd be up by 17 points.
Well, actors get very frustrated with giving control to other people. They have their own ideas and wants for their characters. Warren Beatty once told me that he thought actors ended up directing out of frustration. If you have a strong sense of how to communicate a film, you should direct. The problem is that it is a huge commitment. I\'d rather direct a play than a film due to the time. A movie can tie you up for a year or more.
Anderson Cooper has a job to do. And that job is to try to reinforce his credibility in the gay community after the fact that you couldn't get him out of the closet for 10 years with a canister of tear gas. Now he's the sheriff; now he's running around writing everybody a ticket!
You ask me if I have a God complex? Let me tell you something - I am God.
I probably have to move out of New York. I just can't live in New York anymore.
How can we turn our back on an endeavor which increases our children\'s cultural intelligence, heightens individual sensitivity and deepens our collective sense of humanity? I suggest to you that we cannot.
If we were in another country, we would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families, for what they're doing to this country.
I have been driven to the edge by parental alienation for many years now. You have to go through this to understand.
America is competitive. We compete with each other every day.
My brothers and I grew up in a time where talking, storytelling, telling jokes was sometimes all you had. It wasn\'t like today, with so many options and portability.
I\'m not interested in offending anyone. If homosexuality was an issue for me, I would have moved out of New York years ago. I find that laughable.
I know women that act queeny, I know men that are straight that act queeny, and I know gay men that act queeny... To me, those are people who think the rules don\'t apply to them.
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.
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.
Zegna has the perfect weight fabric. There are a lot of designers who make clothes that are a little too heavy. They feel heavy. They almost feel like a coat.
Nobody cares about your autograph. There are cameras everywhere, and there are media outlets for them to \'file their story\'.
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.
You read some columnists in the newspapers; you have to wonder who they are really working for. You can see they have an agenda.
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.
If MSNBC went off the air tomorrow, what difference would it make? If the \'Huffington Post\' went out of business tomorrow, what difference would it make?
The harshest thing I can say is I was married to someone for whom all dissent was abuse. If you had your own opinion, you were abusive.
If Hank Williams Jr. wasn\'t such a pathetic, wheezing fossil, I\'d have a talk with him.
As a lifelong Democrat, I never thought I\'d lead an effort to defend the symbol of the Republican Party. But when I saw the cruelty that Ringling inflicts on elephants every day across the country, I had to speak up.
There are women who get divorced in order to punish. Out of this bitter, bitter hatred that some of these women have for their ex-husbands, they turn their children against them.
The way we divorce in this country hurts people on the deepest level. The ripple effect and resonance of it is remarkable, vast - vast - and if I ever went into Parliament, I would become very involved in that.
New York... where people come for their Ph.D. in corruption.
I have dear friends of mine who represent real Republicans. Goldwater Republicans. Strong on defense. Tough on immigration. Fiscal conservatives.
