The Shadow. Mercury Rising. The Cat in the Hat. The Adventures of Pluto Nash... None of these fine films would've been made had Alec Baldwin not been providing for his family. Sound.
The 30 Rock star insists a large percentage of his income was being siphoned off to members of his family *waves at Stephen* and this forced him to take on unsuccessful projects however. Aaaaah, so had he had the strength to prioritise his own needs and wants, he would not have been in this position. It would've been Gengarry Glen Ross all the way.
He told the Guardian: "People don't understand this; if you want to have a really good shot at succeeding there are doors you have to slam in people's faces, and say, 'This is my priority and you can't depend on me to help you.' I was never good at that... By the way, I know this sounds nauseatingly self-serving, like what a good guy I am, trying to imply that I tanked my film career so I could be of service to others."
Quoting lines from Lawrence Of Arabia, the professional martyr added: 'The Turks pay me a golden treasure, yet I am poor, because I am a river to my people.' What I realise is, I am a river to my people. And being a river to my people is not all that convenient to your career. The shit I did because I had to go get some short-end money."
It's always someone else's fault, Alec, always someone else's fault.
