“I think I have an inherent modest level of stress, but I'm only super-...” — Mark Ronson Quote

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.'

You draw the best things from your parents and family. You're going to pick up some of the bad things as well - there's a temper that runs through my dad's side of the family that I'm not especially keen on picking up a giant block of.

I know it sounds really lame and hater-ish, but I think 2009 was maybe the worst year for music ever.

I think that the things that are interesting sometimes, when you're striving for a sound, you just get it wrong 'cause of your own limitations. That's when you get something kind of original.

When I go on holiday, I go to places that have animals I'm interested in.

When the fixture list is released, while you're on holiday, wherever it is in the world, it reminds you and it makes you hungry to play again.

Most of the holiday movies I enjoy, like 'It's a Wonderful Life,' don't really involve Santa.

Holiday food is rich and indulgent. Going-home-to-see-family food is richer and even more indulgent.

'Law & Order' is a six-month shoot. Everything has to be crammed in. I had so much fun, but it wasn't a holiday. We had seriously long days, and we'd finish at 8 P.M. and start again at 7 A.M. We were doing six-day weeks, which sometimes tripped onto the seventh. But I loved it all.
