In an interview Hall was asked how she now feels about those comments.
“I struggle with this one. It’s very unlike me to make a public statement about anything. I make the stuff, that’s how I am political. I don’t think of myself as an ‘actor-vist’, I’m not that person. And, I kind of regret making that statement, because I don’t think it’s the responsibility of his actors to speak to that situation.”
Every interview about the film centered around Allen and Weinstein.
“Like, in this moment, it’s the most important thing to believe the women…
Yes, of course, there’s going to be complications and nuances in these stories, but we’re redressing a balance here. So I felt like I wanted to do something definitive. But it just became, ‘another person denounces Woody Allen and regrets working with him’, which is not what I said actually. I don’t regret working with him. He gave me a great job opportunity and he was kind to me. I don’t talk to him any more, but I don’t think that we should be the ones who are doing judge and jury on this.”
When asked how she would respond if it were to happen now.
“I wouldn’t say anything – my policy actually is to be an artist. Don’t come out and state your stuff so much. I don’t think that makes me apathetic or not engaged. I just think it’s my job.”
Do you regret working with Woody Allen, OMG!?
