Quote

The album is a definite departure. I haven't written original material before, except for one song on my first album, but Elvis and I did six songs together on this one.

The greatest thing about music is putting it out there for people to figure out.
Diana Krall
Image
I think that I was being much more uptight about those things before. I feel like I really don't have to prove anything at this point other than what I'm doing.
Diana Krall

The best advice my mom ever gave me was that you have to talk about your emotions. If something upsets me, she'd say, 'Get mad about it it's healthy for you,' and I could feel like: Good now it's over...next!
Diana Krall

My dream as a child was to play with a bass player like Ray Brown, who played with the Oscar Peterson Trio. The feeling I had listening to his work was almost carnal, so to actually play for him was earth-shattering for me.

You're creating an intimacy that everybody feels, that it's their experience, not yours. I'll never introduce a song and say, now this song is about 'my' broken heart.

It is a privilege and an honor to perform on Steinway pianos.
Diana Krall

I always wonder what drives us as Artists.
Diana Krall

Sometimes I can't get out of the character because the story is very intense.

You know, we recently played a benefit with my husband, Elvis Costello, and Sir Elton John, who is a mutual friend of ours. Playing with Elvis and Elton and accompanying them with my band was a pretty euphoric experience.

There were some things that I found I really enjoyed singing about like, on the title track, there's this film-noir character of a woman who's sort of losing it in a room.
Diana Krall
Image
I'm not really on a mission to tell anybody anything. I'd rather be figured out.
Diana Krall
Image
So much of what we do as artists is a combination of personal experience and imagination, and how that all creeps into your work is not so linear.
Diana Krall
Image
I work very hard at being the best musician I can be because I love it.
Diana Krall
Image
But the greatest thing about music is putting it out there for people to figure out. You want the listener to find the song on their own. If you give too much away, it takes away from the imagination.
Diana Krall
Image
Love songs last because they are about feelings that don't change.
Diana Krall
Image
I spent a lot of time playing in miserable places that were not a lot of fun. Somebody once said it is character building and I was like: My character is just fine.
