More quotes by Norah Jones
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.
Norah Jones
I had very modest expectations when I first moved to New York. I didn't even expect to get a record deal.
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
I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.
Norah Jones
Sometimes when you're trying to do a record too close to home, you can get really distracted.
Norah Jones
Nobody can tell you you're wrong for writing a song about how you feel - even if you don't really feel that way.

Norah Jones
Music is fun. It should be fun. And that's the key, I think. Keep it as the thing you love.
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
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.
Norah Jones
All is fair in love and songwriting.
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
I want to check the record books and see how many fathers and daughters have won Grammys together.
Norah Jones
If I were a painter I would paint my reverie If that's the only way for you to be with me
Norah Jones
I'm happy. I feel good about music.
Norah Jones
