About Mark Ronson: Mark Daniel Ronson is an English musician, DJ, singer, and record producer.
My grandmother always used to wear this English perfume called Tuberose and then she died and then I dated this girl who wore the same thing. Every time I hung out with her, I could only think of my recently deceased grandmother. So sometimes a signa...
D'Angelo could sing the phonebook and it would sound good.
I think I have an inherent modest level of stress, but I'm only super-aware of it when it goes away, when I'm on holiday and I think, 'Oh this feels pretty good.'
I'm always nervous before starting a record because I can never sleep. I'm like, 'I have no good ideas, everyone is gonna see through me.'
The cologne you pick should make you feel good when you go out with it. I think confidence comes across more than any other of our attributes.
I didn't start making music in order to be famous.
I'd be saying, 'No, I'm so not a DJ, I'm a producer.' But no matter how much faith you may have in yourself, until you have a hit you can't really run around telling everyone you're a producer.
Sometimes I have to shut off the omnipresent disco ball and flashing lights that are always in my head. It's a part of maturing, I guess - just learning that it's not just always about a quick, easy fix of getting people to dance.
Stevie Wonder doing 'We Can Work It Out' by the Beatles is one of my favorite records of all time.
I never studied jazz technically; I just know and love the music.
I knew I wanted to be in music ,but I didn't know my role, so I did everything from interning at Rolling Stone to writing heavy metal fanzines to playing in a high-school band, and I think all those things probably helped in a way.
I don't think I really make singer-songwritery-type music - it's not my strong point.
I know it sounds really lame and hater-ish, but I think 2009 was maybe the worst year for music ever.
I vaguely remember in the '90s when Calvin Klein started making unisex CK1. Don't worry about whether it's made for men or women. Listen, we all like to put mum's clothes on sometimes. What's important is that it feels right for you.
