More quotes by Norah Jones
Sometimes when you're trying to do a record too close to home, you can get really distracted.
Norah Jones
I like to be in control of things.
Norah Jones
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
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
Music is fun. It should be fun. And that's the key, I think. Keep it as the thing you love.
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
If I make a record I love, then somebody will like it. Maybe not everybody, but that won't matter.
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
I got stood up by the letter Y, he was hanging around with his X.
Norah Jones
I didn't think it was fair to my music to label me as the daughter of somebody - I didn't think it described me very well and I didn't think it had anything to do with my music.
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
Don't go chasing after butterflies, when everything you want is right by your side.
Norah Jones
I should have a therapist. I have plenty to therapise about.
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
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
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
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
I make a good fried chicken.
Norah Jones
I'm ballsy. Well, sometimes I'm ballsy.
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
