Talking about his wife's support, he shared, "If I didn’t have my wife, I don’t know where I would be right now... if I didn’t have her, I probably would have quit, retired, gone off, you know sold everything I owned, got a house in the middle of nowhere and just you know did find something else to do, sell real estate."

Speaking to the publication, he also shared who he thinks is responsible for the incident. "Someone put a live bullet in the gun who should have known better, he said while adding, "That was (Gutierrez Reed’s) job. Her job was to look at the ammunition and put in the dummy round or the blank round, and there wasn’t supposed to be any live rounds on the set."

"There are two people who didn’t do what they were supposed to do. I’m not sitting there saying I want them to, you know, go to prison, or I want their lives to be hell. I don’t want that, but I want everybody to know that those are the two people that are responsible for what happened."

"I sincerely believe... (investigators are) going to say that this was an accident. It’s tragic," Baldwin concluded.
