During my first photo shoot, I was unhappy because they put so much makeup on me and straightened my hair. I've been stubborn ever since.

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

I want to check the record books and see how many fathers and daughters have won Grammys together.
Norah Jones
Image
I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.
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.

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.

Sometimes when you're trying to do a record too close to home, you can get really distracted.

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

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.

I'm ballsy. Well, sometimes I'm ballsy.

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.

My mom and I have always been very close. She is my best friend. She had to make a lot of sacrifices early on in my life to make sure I got to do what I wanted to do.

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'm happy. I feel good about music.

For a young artist to really make it and make money is a lot more difficult these days.
Norah Jones
Image
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
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.

Image
Breaking up is just hard, even if you're the one breaking up. It's not fun. It can be dramatic and complicated. And then you get a little distance and you think, why did it have to be so complicated and dramatic?
Norah Jones
Image
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.
Norah Jones

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.
