'Wrong Number'
"[Reeves Gabrels] didn't even tell me [this song was a cowrite between him and Smith] when we shot the video. I didn't know that until years later, actually. I told him, 'Shit, Reeves, I love that song.' In a way, by that point, I think people were less interested in what we were doing. You have to understand, I had pissed off to Hollywood and had a horrendous experience with a certain Mr. Weinstein making a movie I wasn't too pleased about. So I'd been away for a few years and then they invited me back to do this video, and I remember the band all saying, 'Thank God you're back.' It was great fun too. My favourite memory of this is to do with the longer version. There was an actor I cast as this weird guy that has heads all over his jacket. He looked a bit like Laurence Olivier on LSD. I had all this ash and dust in the studio, and I pushed Robert in to start dancing with this guy, and the look of terror on Robert's face just makes me laugh every time. I turned the music up loud and just screamed at Robert, 'Get in! Get in!' And he did it, bless him. But watch the video knowing that story; it is hilarious."
