I never see anything in black and white. I believe people are multi-coloured, they're almost never all good or bad. [Harvey] Weinstein was a bully, full stop. But also, not full stop, really. He was a bully, possible sociopath and fantastically effective producer of films. It's not about excusing him, but seeing the whole picture to understand him. [Being famous does not excuse his crimes, yet his crimes do not cancel out his work.]

Helena Bonham Carter in an interview with Hadley Freeman, 31st October 2020, in The Guardian, discussing the crimes of Harvey Weinstein.

It is absurd to talk about Allen in the same breath as Polanski, let alone [O.J.] Simpson. Too many people now airily refer to Allen as if he were a serial sex offender, but he was not only never convicted, he was – despite being investigated – never even charged. Moreover, unlike Polanski – and Bill Cosby, and Harvey Weinstein, and R Kelly, and Michael Jackson – there has never been more than one accusation. One is one too many, but this one allegation was investigated twice and no charges brought. To talk about Allen as though he is a predatory monster who must be shunned from society goes against even the smallest idea of due process.

I realised I was in this small space with all these super-talented women vying for one part in one movie, and it was always the shitty part in that year's one good movie: someone's wife, or someone's shrew girlfriend. So that has definitely played a part in my decision to act a little less and create a little more, because I want to add more to that conversation about what it takes to be a woman.
