There was an enormous amount of pressure when my first album took off, and I struggled with the speed of everything and the exhaustion from the constant touring.
Norah Jones

All is fair in love and songwriting.
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.

Image
During my first photo shoot, I was unhappy because they put so much makeup on me and straightened my hair. I've been stubborn ever since.
Norah Jones
Image
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.

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.

I had very modest expectations when I first moved to New York. I didn't even expect to get a record deal.
Norah Jones
Image
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 just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time.

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.

I feel like all the songs are little scenes, different angles, of the feelings that come around something ending.

Your limitations create your sound.
Norah Jones
Image
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.
Norah Jones
Image
I'm not a very dark person.
Norah Jones
Image
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.
Norah Jones
Image
For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.
Norah Jones
Image
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 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.

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