Stephen Baldwin Quotes

If you're good, you're always looking over your shoulder.

I am incredibly, incredibly fortunate about the opportunities I've had. But at the same time, I've had plenty of opportunities to screw it up, too. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is 'No...' and not feel the need to do everything. It's about doing what rings true to me.

If you don't have a voice that forces you back to basics, you're a dangerous person. Or to put it another way: You're at risk, and the people with you are at risk. I'm not a daredevil. I don't fly without a safety net.

If someone you know makes a bad decision or uses bad judgment, it doesn't mean you have to allow that to alter your attitude. Why should you allow anyone else's bad decisions to send you into a tailspin of misery?

If we lose track when it comes to deciding when to stop, that should be a sign.

What we say no to is sometimes more important than what we say yes to.

I'm pretty good at saying no to things, at discerning between what I'm supposed to do and what I'm not supposed to do.
