About this Quote

This quote by Alec Baldwin talks to the difficulty of keeping stability in the home entertainment organization.

Nevertheless, Baldwin is recommending that it is possible to make choices that are both successful and respectable. He is highlighting the value of making "prominent options" that remain in line with one's worths and beliefs. This is a difficult task, as it needs a good deal of self-discipline and dedication to one's principles.

Nevertheless, Baldwin is recommending that it is possible to do so, and that it is worth the effort.
