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

Norah Jones
I always try to do something different. I don't think I've made the same record over and over.
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
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.
Norah Jones

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 got stood up by the letter Y, he was hanging around with his X.
Norah Jones
If I were a painter I would paint my reverie If that's the only way for you to be with me
Norah Jones
You would never catch me in a miniskirt.
Norah Jones

Norah Jones
A song will keep going round in my brain and keep me awake.
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 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.
Norah Jones
I'm a musician because I love it and it's supposed to be fun.
Norah Jones
I make a good fried chicken.
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
