More quotes by Norah Jones
It's important to keep indie record stores alive because their unique environments introduce music lovers to things in a very personal way.
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 just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time.
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
I like my life. I like my friends. I don't want to go anywhere else.
Norah Jones
I think singing comes most naturally for me. Because it's part of your body - it's a natural thing. You can practice all you want but it's part of your body.
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
I had very modest expectations when I first moved to New York. I didn't even expect to get a record deal.
Norah Jones
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
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
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
I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.
Norah Jones
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
A song will keep going round in my brain and keep me awake.
Norah Jones
I want to check the record books and see how many fathers and daughters have won Grammys together.
Norah Jones
I'm not a very dark person.
Norah Jones
The coolest thing I've gotten to do in the past few years is guest star on Sesame Street.
Norah Jones
I became a musician so I wouldn't have to get up at 6 in the morning.
Norah Jones
For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.
Norah Jones
A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.
Norah Jones
