“I’m sorry my eyes are still so puffy. I’m not sleeping,” he said.

Baldwin went on to discuss his and his wife Hilaria’s decision to have six children together. Baldwin also shares one daughter, Ireland, 26, with his ex-wife Kim Bassinger.

“I don’t think you make the choices we’ve made without having an abundant clarity of wanting to have a lot of kids,” Baldwin said.

Having six kids at home, with the oldest being eight years old, is still “unbelievable” to him, he said.

“I don’t have anything else in my life. I really don’t have anything else in my life that matters to me on that scale, and I really mean that. I’m not asking anyone to pin any medals on me but I just haven’t done anything else in my life that even remotely means anything to me,” Baldwin continued.

“I hate to leave my family. I’m turning down jobs I think I shouldn’t do because I hate to be away from my kids. I hate to be away from my wife and kids. I’m on my way to go on a trip and leave my family – it’s not that long – but I hate it. I really hate it,” the “30 Rock” star added.

He concluded by saying how fortunate he is to come home and have his kids “mesmerize” him.
