Let's not kid ourselves. Being locked in a tiny room with Alec Baldwin was slightly frightening. So, of course, I filed this profile of him with the following quote, in full. I knew that it wouldn't get printed, but doesn't it tell you everything? Oh and also he swears he'll never act again.
"Okay, how many more questions do you have? Who is my favorite actor on a T.V. show? Seriously? Of all time? Or currently?" He found the browser and went to ArkivMusic.com. "I love this. Isn't this great? Couldn't you just sit and do this all day?" Um, doesn't he? "I think I do. I do. I'm looking for 'Ultimate Chopin.' What could be more worthy than that? I'd rather be doing this--ah! The complete collection of Rachmaninoff. Complete recordings! Look at that. The Philadelphia. Ormandy. Okay, where is—I'm a little confused. Let's do this thing. Ultimate. Is there a search here? My favorite actor on TV of all time? Who's my favorite actor on T.V. of all time? Jesus! Christ! All-fucking! Mighty! What can we say? How could we possibly say? I mean how on earth can we possibly say? Okay, wait a second. Conductors. Shit! Piss! Ensembles! Labels. Search! Let's just do that. Search for, C.D. or DVD title, 'Ultimate Chopin.' You better have this, you bastards. Wait a minute now! This is Dutoit with the Montreal! What is the problem? You lying bastards! Ultimate collection. Well, we don't see Ashkenazy. My favorite actor? Well that just pisses me right off. That just has me in a twist. What does this say here? We've got to find out. We've got to find out where he got that. So, so my favorite actor! Ashkenazy! Let's try that. Uh. The young Ashkenazy. Look at this! [A phone rings.] Can't you see I'm listening to Chopin? I can't be bothered with this crap!"





That's fucking incredible. Any chance we can see the rest of the uncut interview or is that out of bounds?

I must find a way to interview Alec Baldwin. Witness also his use of "motherfucking" three times in a row.
