My mom and I have always been very close. She is my best friend. She had to make a lot of sacrifices early on in my life to make sure I got to do what I wanted to do.

For a young artist to really make it and make money is a lot more difficult these days.
Norah Jones
Image
I feel like all the songs are little scenes, different angles, of the feelings that come around something ending.
Norah Jones
Image
It's funny how you realize what's important, and it's not fame and money, even though it can be really nice. It's happiness and whatever it takes to make you feel happy.
Norah Jones
Image
A song will keep going round in my brain and keep me awake.
Norah Jones
Image
I'm not a very dark person.
Norah Jones
Image
I don't go about playing music differently. It changes my sleeping schedule and my drinking habits, that's what I like to say.
Norah Jones
Image
There's a lot of personal stuff that can go into songwriting but there's also a lot of dramatization and fictionalization. You have to do that to make a good song.
Norah Jones

All is fair in love and songwriting.

Nobody was listening when I learned how to play music. But there's something about being on stage, talking to the audience, looking at them and smiling, that's always been difficult for me. I'm a lot more comfortable now, but there are still moments of awkwardness.

I don't think I'm a great songwriter, but I think I've learned a lot about it, and I don't think there's any one way to do it. I don't think I can control it at all. I can just kind of hope that it happens.

When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.

I would love to make a real jazz album someday because I never have. But that's something I'm not in a rush to do.
Norah Jones
Image
What I was going for in the first two albums I didn't necessarily achieve. Because I was young and because it was my first time out. And the second album was such a 'quickie' sort of 'Let's just get it over with!' But the kind of music I make, there's a lot of subtlety in it. And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it.

I'm a musician because I love it and it's supposed to be fun.
Norah Jones
Image
I think it's important for people who love music to retain physical CDs or even vinyl, because it sounds so great and so much warmer than music over the internet.
Norah Jones
Image
I always try to do something different. I don't think I've made the same record over and over.

I love film, and I would love to be a part of something that people universally love as a piece of film. Sure. Of course I would. And I would love to take acting lessons, and see that side of it someday. But I'm a musician.

If I make a record I love, then somebody will like it. Maybe not everybody, but that won't matter.

I'm super-fortunate to have any fans still.
Norah Jones
Image
I'm in total control. I write the songs, decide what to sing and how to sing. I even control the recording process. But, with a film, there is no control at all.
