Top 10 Diana Krall Quotes

1. 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.

4. 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.

6. Sometimes I can't get out of the character because the story is very intense.
7. It is a privilege and an honor to perform on Steinway pianos.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. When you drive by Radio City and you see your name up there and it's only 'your' name. I just went 'ooh'. I thought this is really like looking at another person.

Diana Krall Quotes About Love

I like to interpret 'Call me a River', as if I'm saying, 'Now you're telling me you love me after all that, and I'm telling you to shove off.' That's my interpretation. But I would never 'say' that because somebody else might interpret the song in another way. — Diana Krall

I mean, I don't think I would call Claus to do an album of big band tunes. You know, just like arrangers write for the artist they have in mind; you have to keep in mind if you're going to work with Claus Ogerman. You invite him to do what he does. — Diana Krall

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. — Diana Krall
