It’s a legitimate argument to be made,” Keaton said. “That said, I will tell you, I am so fortunate. We could spend a week here talking about how fortunate I am, and I know you would all love that.
Everyone wants to hear Mike ramble on for a couple of hours. I’m so blessed to do what I do, and so fortunate. I have a job where I can be part of a production, like ‘Dopesick,’ that actually can spawn thought, conversation, actual change.
Who gets to have that job? How fortunate am I that good can come from something I do just because I wanted to become an actor?” “There’s massive inequity in the world. In ‘Dopesick,’ when you talk about addiction, the way to heal the problem is to accept that you have a problem. Not our country — the entire world.
Economically, racially, socially, financially. There’s massive inequity in the world. There just is.
