“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.”
HopeAll Quotes by Norah Jones
“I love my dad and we have a very good relationship now.”
Dad“When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.”
Music“I'm always going to do that - record and make music.”
Music“A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.”
Music“I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time.”
Music“I hope there are some audiophiles still out there.”
Hope“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.”
Music“A lot of pop people out there are cool, but they overdo it.”
Cool“I became a musician so I wouldn't have to get up at 6 in the morning.”
Morning“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.”
Cool“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.”
Music“Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.”

Music“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!”
Music“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.”
Music“I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.”
Cool“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.”
Music“For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.”
Music“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.”
