I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I dont want to do the same thing all the time. – Norah Jones
Im always going to do that – record and make music. – Norah Jones
I genuinely dont feel that anything thats been written or said about me has overshadowed my music, and thats the most important thing as far as Im concerned. – Norah Jones
I didnt think it was fair to my music to label me as the daughter of somebody – I didnt think it described me very well and I didnt think it had anything to do with my music. – Norah Jones
Maybe Im genetically more inclined to music – but the music I make is so far removed from Indian classical music. I grew up in Texas! – Norah Jones
I dont actually have a lot of discipline. Ive 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. – Norah Jones
I try to just make music that I love, and if I believe in it thats all that matters. – Norah Jones
When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably cause I missed something about Texas. – Norah Jones
I wasnt very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz. – Norah Jones
My first two records are so simply constructed. The reason isnt because I wanted to make simple music. Its because I dont really have the chops. – Norah Jones
Its true, theres a lot of melancholy in my music. I dont know why, Im not a melancholy person. Ive always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat. – Norah Jones
Ive 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
Nobody was listening when I learned how to play music. But theres something about being on stage, talking to the audience, looking at them and smiling, thats always been difficult for me. Im a lot more comfortable now, but there are still moments of awkwardness. – Norah Jones
I think its important for people who love music to retain physical CDs or even vinyl, because it sounds so great and so much warmer than music over the internet. – Norah Jones
I became a musician so I wouldnt have to get up at 6 in the morning. – Norah Jones
I dont think Im a great songwriter, but I think Ive learned a lot about it, and I dont think theres any one way to do it. I dont think I can control it at all. I can just kind of hope that it happens. – Norah Jones
Sometimes when youre trying to do a record too close to home, you can get really distracted. – 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 Im on a label thats not really like that. Theyre not trying to dress me up, theyre not trying to do things like that. I feel like Im sort of separate from that, actually. – Norah Jones
I could do without cool publications calling me mom jazz. But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby. – Norah Jones
A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music. – Norah Jones
