"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."

First thing I would do is to take a deep breath, tell myself everything will be okay, and stay positive and not let anyone see me moody. Team members can sense it when something is going wrong. But honestly, stress at work is what makes work fun and rewarding.
Rachelle's Feedback
Be careful not to refer to yourself as moody as this could raise a red flag for the interviewer. I have added a slight revision, below.
"When I feel stressed on the job, I will take a deep breath and remind myself that everything will work out so long as I remain positive. If I show my stress, my guests and team members will sense there is something wrong, and I would never want that to happen."
