Quote

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.

The coolest thing I've gotten to do in the past few years is guest star on Sesame Street.

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 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.
Norah Jones

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

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.

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've been told the weirdest things: 'Yeah, I love taking a bath to your music!' or 'I gave birth to my daughter while listening to your music.'
Norah Jones

I feel like all the songs are little scenes, different angles, of the feelings that come around something ending.

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.

I don't go about playing music differently. It changes my sleeping schedule and my drinking habits, that's what I like to say.
Norah Jones
Image
I like to be in control of things.

I make a good fried chicken.

I'm not a very dark person.
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 had very modest expectations when I first moved to New York. I didn't even expect to get a record deal.

Don't go chasing after butterflies, when everything you want is right by your side.
Norah Jones
Image
Sometimes when you're trying to do a record too close to home, you can get really distracted.
Norah Jones

A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.

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