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

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

It's funny how you realize what's important, and it's not fame and money, even though it can be really nice. It's happiness and whatever it takes to make you feel happy.

I wasn't a trained Mickey Mouse club performer. I played in jazz clubs and restaurants.

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

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.

I'm a musician because I love it and it's supposed to be fun.

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

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
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'm not a very dark person.
Norah Jones
Image
I like my life. I like my friends. I don't want to go anywhere else.
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.

A song will keep going round in my brain and keep me awake.

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.

I should have a therapist. I have plenty to therapise about.

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.

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