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.
Norah Jones
Image
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
Image
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
I got stood up by the letter Y, he was hanging around with his X.
Norah Jones
Image
I always try to do something different. I don't think I've made the same record over and over.

I make a good fried chicken.
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.
