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.

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

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
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.

Music is fun. It should be fun. And that's the key, I think. Keep it as the thing you love.

Making records is fun. It's not some big statement. You're allowed to make mistakes.
