Alec Baldwin says he tends to think more about death as days pass and wonders how much time he has left.
The 59-year-old actor says it is hard for him to take in that people are dying at the age of 60, reports GQ magazine.
"You know what I think about now? I think about how much time I have left.
"I mean, there's men dying in their sixties. I mean, maybe they weren't the healthiest of men... I'm not going to say I'm obsessed with death, but I'm semi-obsessed with death," says Baldwin.
The "SNL" star says he has no regrets about his life, but wishes he could have done better for himself in his career.
"My career was not what I wanted it to be in many ways. There are times it has been. '30 Rock' was great. This Trump thing is great. I've had moments in the theatre.
"But my life is great. I found a woman 26 years younger than me who was dumb enough to marry me, that was her only flaw. I just want to be grateful for my life and not to worry about my career. Whatever happens, happens."
Baldwin admits he used to envy actor Leonardo DiCaprio for doing better than him.
"How blessed is Leo? To make those movies with Marty? I mean, what a great life he's having. But at the same time, and I'm not saying this with any judgement, Leo is single and has no kids.
"That's the distinction. We should end with that. To not confuse career with life," he says.
