When something's ending, you go through so many phases, and it can be frustrating. But once you're out on the other side, it's like you can really see all the crazy phases you went through.
Quote by -Norah Jones
I don't actually have a lot of discipline. I've worked hard at music. But I feel like you know, I felt like kind of natural at it. I always had a knack for it.
Quote by -Norah Jones
You know, when you have a father who's pretty well known but you don't see him, the last thing you want to do is start talking about him all the time to people.
Quote by -Norah Jones
During my first photo shoot, I was unhappy because they put so much makeup on me and straightened my hair. I've been stubborn ever since.
Quote by -Norah Jones
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.
Quote by -Norah Jones
I try to just make music that I love, and if I believe in it that's all that matters.
Quote by -Norah Jones
My first two records are so simply constructed. The reason isn't because I wanted to make simple music. It's because I don't really have the chops.
Quote by -Norah Jones
I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.
Quote by -Norah Jones
The pop world is cool, but I never really thought of myself as part of it or wanting to be a part of it because I'm on a label that's not really like that. They're not trying to dress me up, they're not trying to do things like that. I feel like I'm sort of separate from that, actually.
Quote by -Norah Jones
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.
Quote by -Norah Jones
Without a piano I don't know how to stand, don't know what to do with my hands.
Quote by -Norah Jones
For me, there's a fine line between being a cheeseball and being a good performer.
Quote by -Norah Jones
In college I had a weekend gig at a restaurant, a solo thing that was the best practice I could have ever had. That's where I learned to coordinate my singing and my piano playing.
Quote by -Norah Jones
I don't think I'm a great songwriter, but I think I've learned a lot about it, and I don't think there's any one way to do it. I don't think I can control it at all. I can just kind of hope that it happens.
Quote by -Norah Jones
I had very modest expectations when I first moved to New York. I didn't even expect to get a record deal.
Quote by -Norah Jones
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.
Quote by -Norah Jones
A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.
Quote by -Norah Jones
I don't want to be the next big anything. I just want to play for people and that's it.
Quote by -Norah Jones
If you're a female and you get asked by someone who shoots the most beautiful female scenes to be in their film, it's kind of exciting.
Quote by -Norah Jones
I wasn't a trained Mickey Mouse club performer. I played in jazz clubs and restaurants.
Quote by -Norah Jones
Maybe I'm genetically more inclined to music - but the music I make is so far removed from Indian classical music. I grew up in Texas!
Quote by -Norah Jones
It's true, there's a lot of melancholy in my music. I don't know why, I'm not a melancholy person. I've always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat.
Quote by -Norah Jones
The coolest thing I've gotten to do in the past few years is guest star on Sesame Street.
Quote by -Norah Jones
I don't try to sound like anyone but me anymore. If something is out of my element, I try to avoid it.
Quote by -Norah Jones
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.
Quote by -Norah Jones
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.
Quote by -Norah Jones
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.
Quote by -Norah Jones
Everyone in my high school was a bit nerdy. We didn't even have a football team.
