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.

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
It's important to keep indie record stores alive because their unique environments introduce music lovers to things in a very personal way.
Norah Jones
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.
Norah Jones
During my first photo shoot, I was unhappy because they put so much makeup on me and straightened my hair. I've been stubborn ever since.
Norah Jones
When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.

All is fair in love and songwriting.
Norah Jones
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.
Norah Jones
A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.
Norah Jones
I really love things with melody.
Norah Jones
I like records that flow really well and you don't have to skip around because there's lot of different jumps.
Norah Jones
I feel like I've been lucky, because I don't feel like I've ever tried to be somebody I'm not. People might disagree.
Norah Jones
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.
Norah Jones
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.
Norah Jones
