More quotes by Norah Jones
I think it's important for people who love music to retain physical CDs or even vinyl, because it sounds so great and so much warmer than music over the internet.
Norah Jones
I like records that flow really well and you don't have to skip around because there's lot of different jumps.
Norah Jones
I'm in total control. I write the songs, decide what to sing and how to sing. I even control the recording process. But, with a film, there is no control at all.
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
For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.
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
If I were a painter I would paint my reverie If that's the only way for you to be with me
Norah Jones
I don't like shopping, and I like my clothes to be comfortable.
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.
Norah Jones
I'm happy. I feel good about music.
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
You would never catch me in a miniskirt.
Norah Jones
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
A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.
Norah Jones
I wasn't a trained Mickey Mouse club performer. I played in jazz clubs and restaurants.
Norah Jones
If I make a record I love, then somebody will like it. Maybe not everybody, but that won't matter.
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
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
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.
Norah Jones
The coolest thing I've gotten to do in the past few years is guest star on Sesame Street.
