talks about her Woody Allen defense after the interviewer pushes her a bit:
“I don’t know-I feel the way I feel about it. It’s my experience. I don’t know any more than any other person knows. I only have a close proximity with Woody…he’s a friend of mine. But I have no other insight other than my relationship with him.”
[...] But just because I believe my friend does not mean that I don’t support women, believe women. I think you have to take it on a case-by-case basis. You can’t have this blanket statement-I don’t believe that. But that’s my personal belief. That’s how I feel.”
on the "Rub & Tug" drama (a movie where she was supposed to play a trans man)
“In hindsight, I mishandled that situation. I was not sensitive, my initial reaction to it. I wasn’t totally aware of how the trans community felt about those three actors playing-and how they felt in general about cis actors playing-transgender people. I wasn’t aware of that conversation-I was uneducated. So I learned a lot through that process. I misjudged that…. It was a hard time. It was like a whirlwind. I felt terribly about it. To feel like you’re kind of tone-deaf to something is not a good feeling.”
