Uma Thurman says she would work with Quentin Tarantino again if the opportunity ever came up.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the actress addressed her feelings about the director in light of revelations last year of a terrible car accident she endured on the set of “Kill Bill: Vol. 2”.
Thurman explained that despite a rough patch following the crash, she and Tarantino “always had a good relationship.”
“We’ve had our fights over the years. When you know someone for as long as I’ve known him, 25 years of creative collaboration… yes, did we have some tragedies take place? Sure. But you can’t reduce that type of history and legacy,” she said. “It would have been reduced to my car accident if I died.”
The 48-year-old, who also worked with Tarantino on “Pulp Fiction”, said the way the accident was handled afterward hurt her, but that she was still able to forgive the director.
“Yes, do I have a chronically bad neck? Yeah,” Thurman said. “Was I mad about how it was handled and how I was treated? Yes. But does that mean I don’t care about someone that I have 25 years of history with? No! My capacity to forgive exists and things happen. The accident itself was wrong, but… I tried to explain that it was the environment around it that wounded me the most.”

In fact, Thurman even offered that she would be happy to work with Tarantino again, assuming he wrote a suitable part.
“If he wrote a great part!” she said. “I understand him and if he wrote a great part and we were both in the right place about it, that would be something else.”
Though she added that it’s probably unlikely, since the director “claims that he’s only going to make one more film and then retire.”
Tarantino received backlash after details of the on-set accident were revealed last year. The 55-year-old described it as “one of the biggest regrets of my life.”
