"That would not be the way I would do it," Baldwin said of Bourdain. "I would take a lot of pills, then get in a car in my garage, and turn the car on. Put on a really nice piece of music. Eric Clapton. Layla."

"Have you ever had suicidal thoughts?" Stern asked.

"Yes. I wrote it in my book," Baldwin replied.

He admitted that his suicidal thoughts triggered during the tenacious custody battle for his daughter, Ireland in 2008.

Baldwin explained that his friends and family were the ones who got him through that dark period in his life.
