Music is fun. It should be fun. And that's the key, I think. Keep it as the thing you love.

For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.
Norah Jones
Image
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.

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 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.

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

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

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.

Making records is fun. It's not some big statement. You're allowed to make mistakes.
Norah Jones
Image
I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time.
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.
Norah Jones
Image
If I make a record I love, then somebody will like it. Maybe not everybody, but that won't matter.
Norah Jones
Image
I'm not a very dark person.
Norah Jones
Image
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.
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 like my life. I like my friends. I don't want to go anywhere else.
Norah Jones
Image
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
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
It's important to keep indie record stores alive because their unique environments introduce music lovers to things in a very personal way.

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