“I used to be a jazz snob, believe it or not. I sort of turned my nose ...” — Norah Jones Quote

I used to be a jazz snob, believe it or not. I sort of turned my nose up at anything more commercial.

The coolest thing I've gotten to do in the past few years is guest star on Sesame Street.

I got stood up by the letter Y, he was hanging around with his X.

A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.

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

I happen to take photographs, and they happen to be used for a lot of things, but they're not really made to order. They're paid for, but they're not made for order. I've never really done real commercial work.

I'm a commercial director; I do some very very commercial stuff in the commercial world. My music videos are always analyzed. I need to think about what the audience is going to think.

We never had a giant library or owned a lot of commercial characters the way most studios did. And since we didn't have a lot of internal resources, we had to find ways to be inventive and resourceful, which I think is a healthy way to run a good business.

It's not my concern to make a commercial pop record. I want to make a record of music that I would listen to, that is lyrically rich and has songs that people can relate to - more along the Jakob Dylan route: people who create for the art of it and not necessarily the monetary rewards of it.
