The SNL sketch, which aired in April, was criticised by one viewer as taking "a screeching turn into 1970s misogyny" - a comment Wood reposted on social media - and prompted a climbdown by show bosses, who Wood said apologised.
Speaking during a promotional tour for her new BBC romantic-comedy drama Film Club, Wood said: "No matter what chaos came from it, I'm still happy for me and my personal journey that I said something."
She added: "I've gone into meetings with directors that I've admired and burst into tears and not been able to say a word and I think that kind of urge is always to correct, to say 'I'm so sorry that I just did something messy' and actually you didn't do anything wrong."
Authentic emotions are a central theme of BBC One and iPlayer drama Film Club, which Wood co-wrote with collaborator Ralph Davis.
The series, written during lockdown, deals with loneliness, love and mental health - influenced by Wood's own experience of the pandemic.
It centres around a Friday night film club held in a suburban garage in Greater Manchester, which transforms into a fantasy cinema.
At its heart is a will-they-won't-they romantic connection between Wood's housebound character Evie and her best friend, barrister Noa, played by Nabhaan Rizwaan.
Reflecting on the pandemic, Wood says films were "the only way that we could feel any sense of escape and any sense of the world".
And so the idea for Film Club was born.
