I just wanted to make some fucking movies, that's it...And no fucking movie is worth all this. Like, my entire career, fuck it, take it. It's wrapped up in something really fucking horrible." Smith made it clear that he had no knowledge of Weinstein's behavior around women, saying, ”I know it's not my fault, but I didn't fucking help. Because I sat out there talking about this man like he was a hero, like he was my friend. I didn't know the man that they keep talking about in the press. Clearly he exists, but that man never showed himself to me."
Smith also said he intends to put his money where his mouth his; according to Vulture, he's pledged that he'll donating all future residuals from all of his Miramax films—including Chasing Amy, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Jersey Girl, Zack And Miri Make A Porno, and both Clerks movies—to Women In Films, a nonprofit organization that supports women filmmakers. (He alos [sic] added that, if The Weinstein Co. ends up folding, rendering those residuals worthless, he'll pay $2,000 a month to the group for the rest of his life.)
