Norah Jones

I'm a musician because I love it and it's supposed to be fun.
Norah Jones
Image
I think it's important for people who love music to retain physical CDs or even vinyl, because it sounds so great and so much warmer than music over the internet.
Norah Jones

I like to be in control of things.
Norah Jones

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

Image
I'm not a very dark person.

I'm ballsy. Well, sometimes I'm ballsy.

I like my life. I like my friends. I don't want to go anywhere else.
