For more on Alec Baldwin’s interview with George Stephanopoulos, listen below toour daily podcast on PEOPLE Every Day.
He told Stephanopoulos, “I wanted to come to talk to you to say I would go to any lengths to undo what happened.”
“I want to make sure that I don’t come across like I’m the victim, because we have two victims here. All of what happened that day leading up to this event was precipitated on one idea, and that idea is that Halyna and I had something profound in common,” he added, “that is we both assumed the gun was empty, other than those dummy rounds.”
