More quotes by 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
All is fair in love and songwriting.
Norah Jones
I've been told the weirdest things: 'Yeah, I love taking a bath to your music!' or 'I gave birth to my daughter while listening to your music.'
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 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
Making records is fun. It's not some big statement. You're allowed to make mistakes.
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
Your limitations create your sound.
Norah Jones
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
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
If I make a record I love, then somebody will like it. Maybe not everybody, but that won't matter.
Norah Jones
Sometimes when you're trying to do a record too close to home, you can get really distracted.
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 became a musician so I wouldn't have to get up at 6 in the morning.
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 just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.
Norah Jones
I'm ballsy. Well, sometimes I'm ballsy.
Norah Jones
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.
Norah Jones
I like to be in control of things.
Norah Jones
I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.
Norah Jones
