No, I said, ‘We better come up with some hits.’ It was irony, I hope people understood. Because Beck, who I was hanging with, just got the Grammy for album of the year. And also we were hanging with Woody Harrelson, who was currently in “The Hunger Games.” It wasn’t like I was with a gang of no-hopers. The truth about that story is, we weren’t even trying to get in that place. We were trying to establish whether that was Mark Ronson’s party or not. It turned out not to be. But the bouncer didn’t get it. I said, ‘Look, all I want to know is this Mark Ronson’s party.’ [He said:] ‘You can’t come in.’ ‘I don’t want to come in. Is this Mark Ronson’s party?’ The thing is, the guy was a bit thick. And he didn’t even see who anyone was. If you had flashed the big laminates he’d been told to accept, then you’d get in. And then suddenly, this is not the place and we’re talking to the guy and we’re just about to leave and what do I see, the ubiquitous TMZ camera focused on us.
