More quotes by Norah Jones
It's hard for me to pry with people I know.
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
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
I really love things with melody.
Norah Jones
I'm happy. I feel good about music.
Norah Jones
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
The coolest thing I've gotten to do in the past few years is guest star on Sesame Street.
Norah Jones
A song will keep going round in my brain and keep me awake.
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
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
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 all the songs are little scenes, different angles, of the feelings that come around something ending.
Norah Jones
I don't like shopping, and I like my clothes to be comfortable.
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'm a musician because I love it and it's supposed to be fun.
Norah Jones
I'm super-fortunate to have any fans still.
Norah Jones
I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.
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
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.
Norah Jones
