I really love things with melody.
Norah Jones

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.

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.

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
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
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

I'm not a very dark person.
Norah Jones
Image
Nobody can tell you you're wrong for writing a song about how you feel - even if you don't really feel that way.
Norah Jones
Image
A song will keep going round in my brain and keep me awake.
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 got stood up by the letter Y, he was hanging around with his X.

It's hard for me to pry with people I know.

I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.
