Quote

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.

If I make a record I love, then somebody will like it. Maybe not everybody, but that won't matter.

I think singing comes most naturally for me. Because it's part of your body - it's a natural thing. You can practice all you want but it's part of your body.

I should have a therapist. I have plenty to therapise about.

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.

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
I'm in total control. I write the songs, decide what to sing and how to sing. I even control the recording process. But, with a film, there is no control at all.

You would never catch me in a miniskirt.

Image
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.
Norah Jones
Image
I feel like all the songs are little scenes, different angles, of the feelings that come around something ending.
Norah Jones
Image
For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.
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 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 just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.

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.

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.

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

Nobody can tell you you're wrong for writing a song about how you feel - even if you don't really feel that way.
