Quentin Tarantino says Uma Thurman s violent car crash on the set of his 2003 film Kill Bill was the biggest regret of his life.

The actress mentioned the wreck, which she says resulted in permanent damage to her neck and knees, in an interview published Saturday in The New York Times . The article largely focused on Thurmans sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein, but she also discussed her experience with Tarantino filming Kill Bill, which was produced by Weinsteins studio.

Thurman accused Tarantino of forcing her to drive a car she didnt feel comfortable operating in one shot. After eventually agreeing to do it, she accidentally crashed and had to be taken to a hospital.

Tarantino, in an interview with Deadline published Monday, admitted he pressured Thurman to do the scene. He said he believed at the time that it was safe.

Its the biggest regret of my life, getting her to do that stunt, Tarantino told Deadline. As a director, you learn things and sometimes you learn them through horrendous mistakes. That was one of my most horrendous mistakes, that I didnt take the time to run the road, one more time, just to see what I would see.

He continued: Me and Uma had our issues about the crash. She blamed me for the crash and she had a right to blame me for the crash. I didnt mean to do it. I talked her into getting in the car, I assured her the road was safe. And it wasnt.

Thurman accepts Tarantinos apology, according to a post she published Monday on Instagram. But shes still going after Weinstein and his fellow Kill Bill producers Lawrence Bender and E. Bennett Walsh, saying they covered up the crash.
