More quotes by Norah Jones

Norah Jones
God bless Ray Charles. It was such an honor to meet him and sing with him and actually just to watch him sing from just two feet away.
Norah Jones
A song will keep going round in my brain and keep me awake.

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

Norah Jones
I make a good fried chicken.
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
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
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
All is fair in love and songwriting.
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 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
I had very modest expectations when I first moved to New York. I didn't even expect to get a record deal.
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.
