She went on to say, “So I met with this really incredible producer. His name is Mark Ronson. And he is such a doll. He’s so humble. I said, ‘How do you feel after winning an Academy Award?’ And he went, ‘Next.’ He’s ready to go to work. He’s lovely, lovely.”
Mark Ronson won the best original song Oscar for “Shallow,” which he co-wrote with Lady Gaga, Andrew Wyatt, and Anthony Rossomando. Ronson — the stepson of Foreigner‘s Mick Jones— is best known for his work with Bruno Mars, Amy Winehouse, Adele, Miley Cyrus, Queens Of The Stones Age, Rufus Wainwright, and Paul McCartney, among many others.

Y’know I try to steam my throat (and) y’know take care of my throat, but talking is just as hard as singing.”]
