I'm happy. I feel good about music.

Don't go chasing after butterflies, when everything you want is right by your side.

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.

Your limitations create your sound.

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 think singing comes most naturally for me. Because it's part of your body - it's a natural thing. You can practice all you want but it's part of your body.

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

I'm a musician because I love it and it's supposed to be fun.
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
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.
Norah Jones
Image
For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.
Norah Jones
Image
When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.
Norah Jones
Image
In college I had a weekend gig at a restaurant, a solo thing that was the best practice I could have ever had. That's where I learned to coordinate my singing and my piano playing.
Norah Jones
Image
A song will keep going round in my brain and keep me awake.
Norah Jones
Image
I'm ballsy. Well, sometimes I'm ballsy.
Norah Jones
Image
I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.

Songs are about whatever you want them to be about. For me it might mean something completely different than what it means to you. So I'd say it's about whatever the listener thinks it's about.

I've been told the weirdest things: 'Yeah, I love taking a bath to your music!' or 'I gave birth to my daughter while listening to your music.'

I remember early on, for instance, having to play wedding gigs, that I hated playing the music. Now I don't have to play music that I don't like. I only get to do what I enjoy, so that's pretty lucky.

God bless Ray Charles. It was such an honor to meet him and sing with him and actually just to watch him sing from just two feet away.
