How do you handle stress on the job?
Are you someone who can handle stress on the job? How do you manage the stressful times? Talk to the interviewer about your ability to control pressure in the workplace.
"I handle stress very well, and when you call my references, they will attest to this fact. When I am under pressure on the job, I focus on the task at hand and make sure not to get distracted. Staying on deadline is very helpful, and I will delegate when necessary to alleviate some stress."
"Stress is part of any demanding job, and I embrace it to the fullest. I take good care of myself and prioritize my workload to maintain a healthy balance in my stress levels."

I suggest focusing on your own reactions to stress and not referencing your references just yet (especially if your interviewer hasn't specifically requested references!) You mention focusing on the task at hand, but what do you do when you need to step aside for a moment? For example: "When I need to take a moment to myself, I take four deep breaths and take a five-minute walk before returning to my desk. I have found that helpful in managing my stress."
