Alec Baldwin's 6 Best Rants In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, the always outspoken Alec Baldwin, 55, affirmed that he would "never" again use Twitter to rant. However, he's certainly been opinionated over the years! Here are a few of the former "30 Rock" star's most memorable quotes and rants. July 2013, Alec vs. Twitter When simply asked by Vanity Fair, "Are you ever going to open your Twitter again?" Baldwin said "never," and added that he had the epiphany during his friend James Gandolfini's funeral. "Jimmy Gandolfini was so beloved as a person, and he was so admired as an actor, and he didn't give a f---about social media," he said. It's just another chink in your armor for people to come and kill you. ... I have one dream in my life and that is that this daughter I'm havingâshe comes to me about seven or eight years from now, she has a friend, and she's at her house and she says, 'Daddy, Susie's mom says you used to be on TV. Daddy, is that true? She has no knowledge of me as a public person. That would be heaven for me. June 2013, Alec vs. The Daily Mail After the Daily Mail newspaper reported that Hilaria Baldwin was Tweeting during Gandolfini's funeral, Baldwin took his fight to Twitter before deleting his profile altogether. "I'm gonna find you," he wrote to the reporter, ..." you toxic little queen, and I'm gonna f---...you...up." And: "You lying little b----, I am gonna f%#@ you up." And: "Someone wrote that my wife was tweeting at a funeral. That's not true. But I'm gonna tweet at your funeral. February 2013, Alec vs. The New York Post Early in 2013, Baldwin claimed that a New York Post photographer assaulted him while trying to bait him. I slipped and fell on a trail of oil the Post 'photographer' left near my bldg. Who do I sue," he tweeted. The photographer, who is African American, later accused Baldwin of using racial slurs, which angered Baldwin further. My publicist has just informed me that the 'photographer' from the Post is claiming I called him a racial epithet, prior to calling the cops. ... That's kind of magical thinking, isn't it? The Post accusing me of racism," he wrote. The drama continued when a Post reporter asked him a question about his wife and a possible lawsuit, and Baldwin reportedly responded, "I want you to choke to death." June 2012, Alec vs. The New York Daily News Last June, Baldwin allegedly shoved a photographer from the New York Daily News, claiming in a tweet that the shutterbug "almost hit me in the face with his camera this morning." Tame, except for the fact he added the hashtag #allpaparazzisshouldbewaterboarded. He didn't stop there, he compared his scuffle to the Trayvon Martin shooting, "I suppose if the offending paparazzi was wearing a hoodie and I shot him, it would all blow over." 2007, Alec vs. His Daughter Before Baldwin was one of Twitter's most talked about celebrities, he was using a more ancient device to facilitate his rants - the phone. In 2007, after his daughter Ireland allegedly missed a phone call with Alec, he left her a voicemail, which was leaked to the media. So, I'm gonna let you know just how I feel about what a rude little pig you really are. You are a rude, thoughtless. little pig, ok?" he said. I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you're a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do as far as I'm concerned. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone. She was 11. Now, the two enjoy a close relationship, and Ireland has defended her father against critics. "He recognized that he needed to change, so he made changes," she wrote on her blog. He is now healthy, happily married with a baby on the way. He moved on, so why can't you? 1995, Alec vs. The Paparazzi Prior to the Internet's ability to spread news like wildfire and when Baldwin was still married to his first wife actress Kim Basinger, the actor was no stranger to confrontation. In October 1995, Baldwin was actually placed under citizen's arrest, according the LAPD, after he allegedly slugged a cameraman who was trying to get video of his three-day-old Ireland.
