Anne V quiets down Alec Baldwin on the cover of Vanity Fair‘s August 2012 issue, on newsstands July 5!

Here’s what the 54-year-old newlywed had to share with the mag:

On his interest in running for political office: “I think I do want to go into politics. I really, really do. And I don’t know if I will. If I want to run, run for what? You have to stop and ask a lot of whys. Run for the glory? Run to complete some missing piece of myself? I can keep doing what I’m doing for a living now and be perfectly happy.”

On taking a philosophical approach to his anger: “You have to let that go. Enough time�”I mean, it does heal wounds.”
