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

It's funny how you realize what's important, and it's not fame and money, even though it can be really nice. It's happiness and whatever it takes to make you feel happy.
Norah Jones
Image
I'm happy. I feel good about music.
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
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.

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.

I became a musician so I wouldn't have to get up at 6 in the morning.

I should have a therapist. I have plenty to therapise about.
Norah Jones
Image
I genuinely don't feel that anything that's been written or said about me has overshadowed my music, and that's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned.
Norah Jones
Image
I don't like shopping, and I like my clothes to be comfortable.
Norah Jones
Image
Music is fun. It should be fun. And that's the key, I think. Keep it as the thing you love.

Your limitations create your sound.
Norah Jones
Image
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 want to check the record books and see how many fathers and daughters have won Grammys together.

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.
