I'm super-fortunate to have any fans still.
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
Nobody was listening when I learned how to play music. But there's something about being on stage, talking to the audience, looking at them and smiling, that's always been difficult for me. I'm a lot more comfortable now, but there are still moments of awkwardness.

I want to check the record books and see how many fathers and daughters have won Grammys together.

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
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.

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.
Norah Jones
Image
For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.
Norah Jones
Image
I didn't think it was fair to my music to label me as the daughter of somebody - I didn't think it described me very well and I didn't think it had anything to do with my music.
Norah Jones
Image
Music is fun. It should be fun. And that's the key, I think. Keep it as the thing you love.
Norah Jones
Image
Sometimes when you're trying to do a record too close to home, you can get really distracted.
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'm a musician because I love it and it's supposed to be fun.
Norah Jones
Image
Don't go chasing after butterflies, when everything you want is right by your side.

Image
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.

If I were a painter I would paint my reverie If that's the only way for you to be with me

I would love to make a real jazz album someday because I never have. But that's something I'm not in a rush to do.
