A Meeting of the Minds
Mark Ronson: Amy [Winehouse] is smart and funny. She’s English when she insults somebody.
Kanye West: Do all those things go together—smart, funny, English?
Mark: I don’t know. She said Dido’s the soundtrack to death. I think Dido’s a really nice person, but that’s funny. If she insulted me in that way, I would laugh. Maybe it’s just easier to take coming out of a pretty mouth…
Kanye: Women can say anything they fucking want.
Mark: It’s refreshing, so I started to turn up the honesty in these English interviews I’ve been doing. I said something about Joss Stone and I saw it back in print, and I look like such a dick. Whether I think her liner notes are ridiculous or not, it’s not really my place to say it.
Kanye: I apologize for putting it in print this way, but when I saw Joss Stone’s first video it was very much inspiration for me to make something that looked nothing like it. [Laughs.]
Mark: Oh God, I made this girl’s life worse. Again.
