Trying to move forward with my wife and family: Alec Baldwin

Alec Baldwin says the year since his trial suddenly ended with a dismissal has been far better than the few years that preceded it, and the affect that time has had on him has been "immeasurable.

"Something as powerful as that happens in your life, you don’t know how much it changes you," he said. “I can’t even tell you how different I am from three-and-a-half years ago. And what I want and what I don’t want, and how I want to live my life and not live my life.”

The 67-year-old actor said at San Diego's Comic-Con International, where he was part of a panel on 75 years of Charles Schulz's “Peanuts,” whose simplicity, existential philosophy and moral outlook have been very much on his mind. Baldwin spoke while a suited Snoopy character stood nearby after posing for photos with him. In a foreword Baldwin wrote for “The Complete Peanuts 1977-1978," he said while reading Schulz’s newspaper comic strip every day as a child, he realized Charlie Brown, more than anyone, wanted the things he wanted.
