The four quotes you should read from this interview:<\/p>\n
He says no actresses have ever complained about him <\/p>\n You\u2019ve said you\u2019ve never had any complaints on any movies that you\u2019ve made. <\/b> On the #MeToo<\/a> movement I think any movement where there\u2019s actual benefit, where it does something positive, let\u2019s say for women, is a good thing. When it becomes silly, it\u2019s silly. I read instances where it\u2019s very beneficial, where the situation has been very beneficial for women, and that\u2019s good. When I read of some instances in a story in the paper where it\u2019s silly, then it\u2019s foolish. <\/p>\n What\u2019s silly?<\/b> <\/p>\n It\u2019s silly, you know, when it\u2019s not really a feminist issue or an issue of unfairness to women. When it\u2019s being too extreme in trying to make it into an issue when, in fact, most people would not regard it as any kind of offensive situation. <\/p>\n On being canceled I feel if you\u2019re going to be canceled, this is the culture to be canceled by. I just find that all so silly. I don\u2019t think about it. I don\u2019t know what it means to be canceled. I know that over the years everything has been the same for me. I make my movies. What has changed is the presentation of the films. You know, I work and it\u2019s the same routine for me. I write the script, raise the money, make the film, shoot it, edit it, it comes out. The difference is not is not from cancel culture. The difference is the way they present the films. It\u2019s that that\u2019s the big change. <\/p>\n On Dylan and Ronan My reaction has always been the same. The situation has been investigated by two people, two major bodies, not people, but two major investigative bodies. And both, after long detailed investigations, concluded there was no merit to these charges, that, you know, is exactly as I wrote in my book, \u201cApropos of Nothing.\u201d There was nothing to it. The fact that it lingers on always makes me think that maybe people like the idea that it lingers on. You know, maybe there\u2019s something appealing to people. But why? Why? I don\u2019t know what you can do besides having it investigated, which they did so meticulously. One was less than a year and the other one was many months. And they spoke to everybody concerned and, you know, both came to the exact same conclusion. <\/p>\n Have you seen Dylan or her brother Ronan Farrow again?<\/b> <\/p>\n No. Always willing to but no, no\u2026 <\/p>\n
I never have. I said years ago that I should have been a poster boy [for the #MeToo<\/a> movement] and they got all excited about that. But the truth is, it\u2019s true. I\u2019ve made 50 films. I\u2019ve always had very good parts for women, always had women in the crew, always paid them the exact same amount that we paid men, worked with hundreds of actresses, and never, ever had a single complaint from any of them at any point. Not a single one ever said, \u2018Working with him, he was mean or he was harassing.\u2019 That\u2019s just not been an issue. My editors have been women. I don\u2019t have any problem with that. It\u2019s never been on my mind in any way. I hire who I think is good for the role. As I said, I\u2019ve worked with hundreds of actresses, unknown actresses, stars, mid-level actresses. Not one has ever complained and there\u2019s nothing to complain about. <\/p>\n
You\u2019ve said you\u2019re an advocate of the #MeToo<\/a> movement. Do you stand by that?<\/b> <\/p>\n
Do you feel you\u2019ve been \u2018canceled\u2019?<\/b> <\/p>\n
What was your reaction when your daughter Dylan Farrow participated in a 2021 docuseries, \u201cAllen v. Farrow,\u201d detailing her allegations that you sexually abused her? What is your response to her accusations?<\/b><\/p>\n
