I remember I was trying to interview members of Purdue Pharma. Because like I said, you can't get any information on the Sacklers. So I was trying to interview members, people who had worked for the company, and we couldn't get anyone to talk. And then a journalist from the New York Times had written a book that was one of our pieces of source material for the book, a book called Empire at Pain.

The author of that book called me and said, there's a woman who will talk to you. And she used to work for Richard Sackler as one of his five secretaries. And I'm like, great. He's like, she's going to call you at whatever time in two days. Be ready. She's going to call you. So I was in pre-production on the film. My phone goes off. It's FaceTime. And I answer the phone, and it's this woman.

And she's in a car, and she's pulled over on the side of the road. And she starts talking to me about working for Richard Sackler. But she's getting real close to the phone, and she's whispering. And she keeps looking around. And she told me she'd left work and driven to the parking lot of a little strip mall. And she was, you know, willing to tell me enough about him.

She told me some things about him. But I could feel her legitimate paranoia and fear of talking about him. And after that call, I came back and I said, guys, we just got to like, you know, watch our backs. Yeah. And be smart because we are poking a bear. Yeah. And that, I don't know, man, they still could get me. And if they do, if I go quick or I go weird, check out the Sacklers. I will.

I was lucky. I never had addiction. I have family members that have. They've used 12-step to their... I have one sibling, and she's done an incredible job. She's 30 years sober, and A has been a godsend to her. And we've talked about addiction and addiction. And I've asked her, I'm like, what do you think it is? I've asked her, do you think I'm an addict? Because I do drink.
