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.

More quotes by Norah Jones
I remember early on, for instance, having to play wedding gigs, that I hated playing the music. Now I don't have to play music that I don't like. I only get to do what I enjoy, so that's pretty lucky.
Norah Jones
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.
Norah Jones
Sometimes when you're trying to do a record too close to home, you can get really distracted.
Norah Jones
I became a musician so I wouldn't have to get up at 6 in the morning.
Norah Jones
I'm happy. I feel good about music.
Norah Jones
A song will keep going round in my brain and keep me awake.
Norah Jones
I feel like all the songs are little scenes, different angles, of the feelings that come around something ending.
Norah Jones
I really love things with melody.
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
Don't go chasing after butterflies, when everything you want is right by your side.
Norah Jones
You would never catch me in a miniskirt.
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
All is fair in love and songwriting.
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
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
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
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 could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.
Norah Jones
I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.
Norah Jones
I like my life. I like my friends. I don't want to go anywhere else.
Norah Jones
