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

I make a good fried chicken.

Don't go chasing after butterflies, when everything you want is right by your side.
Norah Jones
Image
I'm ballsy. Well, sometimes I'm ballsy.
Norah Jones

I want to check the record books and see how many fathers and daughters have won Grammys together.
Norah Jones
Image
I don't like shopping, and I like my clothes to be comfortable.
Norah Jones
Image
I genuinely don't feel that anything that's been written or said about me has overshadowed my music, and that's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned.

I wasn't a trained Mickey Mouse club performer. I played in jazz clubs and restaurants.
Norah Jones
Image
I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.
Norah Jones
Image
I like records that flow really well and you don't have to skip around because there's lot of different jumps.
Norah Jones
Image
Making records is fun. It's not some big statement. You're allowed to make mistakes.
Norah Jones
Image
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

I like my life. I like my friends. I don't want to go anywhere else.
Norah Jones
Image
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
Image
I always try to do something different. I don't think I've made the same record over and over.
Norah Jones
Image
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
Image
Sometimes when you're trying to do a record too close to home, you can get really distracted.
Norah Jones
Image
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.
