If I were a painter I would paint my reverie If that's the only way for you to be with me

Making records is fun. It's not some big statement. You're allowed to make mistakes.

I became a musician so I wouldn't have to get up at 6 in the morning.
Norah Jones
Image
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.

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.

I'm happy. I feel good about music.

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 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.

Don't go chasing after butterflies, when everything you want is right by your side.
Norah Jones
Image
I genuinely don't feel that anything that's been written or said about me has overshadowed my music, and that's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned.
Norah Jones
Image
I always try to do something different. I don't think I've made the same record over and over.
Norah Jones
Image
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.

Image
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.

If I make a record I love, then somebody will like it. Maybe not everybody, but that won't matter.

You would never catch me in a miniskirt.

I'm super-fortunate to have any fans still.

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

When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.

Sometimes when you're trying to do a record too close to home, you can get really distracted.
