Diana Krall

So much of what we do as artists is a combination of personal experience and imagination, and how that all creeps into your work is not so linear. ↗

You're creating an intimacy that everybody feels, that it's their experience, not yours. I'll never introduce a song and say, now this song is about 'my' broken heart. ↗

But the greatest thing about music is putting it out there for people to figure out. You want the listener to find the song on their own. If you give too much away, it takes away from the imagination. ↗

I love music so much I love what I do. I work very hard at being the best musician I can be because I love it. ↗

I think that I was being much more uptight about those things before. I feel like I really don't have to prove anything at this point other than what I'm doing. ↗

I'm not really on a mission to tell anybody anything. I'd rather be figured out. ↗

It was probably when I met Jeff Hamilton, the drummer I've been working with for the last 20 years. He's the one who brought Ray Brown to hear me sing at a restaurant in my hometown. ↗

Sometimes I can't get out of the character because the story is very intense. ↗

That's why these songs have lasted as long as they have because they're just about feelings that don't change. They are love songs, they are not specific, those kinds of feelings don't change. ↗

The album is a definite departure. I haven't written original material before, except for one song on my first album, but Elvis and I did six songs together on this one. ↗
