“I wish I could say I had a broader political intention or something, but it just happened that all of the artists I’m most excited and inspired by at the present moment happen to be female.”
, Ronson caught up with his old friend and onetime girlfriend, the actress Rashida Jones, to discuss hustling hard and what makes them sad about the internet.RASHIDA JONES: I looked at your Wikipedia page because I’m responsible and wanted to make sure I got everything right. You’re a pretty accomplished person. Congratulations on that.
JONES: When you’re working with an established artist, do you feel compelled to reinvent their sound? JONES: I feel like there’s a narrative that’s shifted in such a seismic way in the past year for women, specifically for American women. I know you well enough to know that you are somebody who is only interested in working with talented people, so maybe that’s a secondary thing, but do you have hopes in terms of this being a template for how creative things are made?
JONES: Not to be ultra-nostalgic, but when you think about the shit you were doing in the ’90s and the early 2000s—the things that were meaningful to you, like spinning for whatever rapper you were a huge fan of at REBAR—they ended up being such a big deal. It makes me wish that I’d done less striving to get out of that present moment, and appreciated it more at the time.
