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.'

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.

For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.

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.

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.

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 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.

A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.

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.

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'm happy. I feel good about music.

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.

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

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

All is fair in love and songwriting.

It's important to keep indie record stores alive because their unique environments introduce music lovers to things in a very personal way.

The coolest thing I've gotten to do in the past few years is guest star on Sesame Street.

I like records that flow really well and you don't have to skip around because there's lot of different jumps.

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.
