In her interview days prior, Arquette stated that while "Pulp Fiction" was indeed a great and classic film in many respects, she personally was fed up with the constant use of the N-word in the movie, expressing her hatred for it. She added that she could not tolerate Tarantino being allowed to write such lines, asserting that it was not artistic creation but simply racism and "freak behavior."
Upon learning of Arquette's remarks, Tarantino immediately released an open letter to the media, responding: "Dear Rosanna, I hope the attention you've garnered from being reported and photographed by 132 different media outlets for this issue is worth your disrespect towards me, and your disrespect towards a film I distinctly remember you being very happy to be a part of. Are you still happy you acted in it now? Very likely. But for you to abandon it after I gave you a job and you collected your pay, for a reason I strongly suspect is deeply cynical, clearly lacks class and honor. There should be a sense of teamwork among peers in the art world, but it seems your goal has been achieved, congratulations."
