I always try to do something different. I don't think I've made the same record over and over.

I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.

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
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.

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.

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 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
For a young artist to really make it and make money is a lot more difficult these days.
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
Breaking up is just hard, even if you're the one breaking up. It's not fun. It can be dramatic and complicated. And then you get a little distance and you think, why did it have to be so complicated and dramatic?
Norah Jones
Image
I should have a therapist. I have plenty to therapise about.
Norah Jones
Image
There was an enormous amount of pressure when my first album took off, and I struggled with the speed of everything and the exhaustion from the constant touring.
Norah Jones
Image
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.
Norah Jones
Image
I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time.
Norah Jones
Image
Making records is fun. It's not some big statement. You're allowed to make mistakes.

I had very modest expectations when I first moved to New York. I didn't even expect to get a record deal.
