"But personally I am over the use of the N-word - I hate it. I cannot stand that [Tarantino] has been given a hall pass. It's not art, it's just racist and creepy."
"But after I gave you a job, and you took the money, to trash it for what I suspect is very cynical reasons, shows a decided lack of class, no less honour. There is supposed to be an esprit de corps between artistic colleagues."
Rosanna Arquette, who appeared in Pulp Fiction, criticized Tarantino's repeated use of the N-word in his films, calling it racist and creepy rather than artistic. She expressed her discomfort with what she views as an undeserved exemption from criticism. Tarantino responded with a statement questioning her motives, suggesting her comments were made for publicity after she benefited from working on his film. He emphasized the expectation of professional respect among artistic colleagues and implied her criticism was cynical. The N-word appears 20 times in Pulp Fiction and over 110 times in Django Unchained, making Tarantino's use of racial language a recurring point of public debate.
