Norah Jones

“For me, my voice is my instrument.”

“I don't think I'm a jazz singer. I've got the chops, but I'm not a jazz singer. It's a label.”

“I'm just trying to write a good song. I'm not trying to write a hit song.”

“Music is the one thing that has been consistently there for me. It hasn't let me down.”

“I think it's important to be able to make a joke about yourself, and I do it all the time.”

“I got to a point where I was sick of all the jazz I was hearing. I was just a rebellious kid.”

“If I'm not in the mood to be with people, I'm not in the mood to be with people.”

“I love playing piano, I love singing, I love playing guitar.”

“I feel like I'm a good singer, but I'm not a great singer.”

“I don't want to be a pop star. I want to be a musician.”

“I don't like to talk about myself that much.”

“I don't like to be told what to do.”

“I think it's important to have a little bit of a sense of humor about everything.”
