Mark Ronson

I used to be a serious sneaker addict, but I've moved on a little bit from those days.

I had a somewhat frenetic childhood because my mum and dad split up when I was five, and then my mum remarried.

D'Angelo could sing the phonebook and it would sound good.

Being a die-hard Knicks fan, I remember hunting down these orange-and-blue Nikes that they only released in England. And I used to hunt for sneakers when I DJ'd in Japan. But then Nike flooded the market with a head-spinning array of color combinations and it just didn't seem cool anymore.

I didn't start making music in order to be famous.

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.

DJing is an art that I have the utmost respect for, and I've been practising it since I was 17 years old. Doing Tom Cruise wedding-type things becomes the focal point of every interview, and you realize that you have to cut it out if you don't want to be answering questions about that.

I don't have a crazy rider clause saying I have to stay at fancy hotels. I don't have a problem with staying at a Marriott. But I will admit that I've gotten just basic, regular service there.

Stevie Wonder doing 'We Can Work It Out' by the Beatles is one of my favorite records of all time.

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 signature scent can be good and sometimes it can be bad.
