Diana Krall

“I think you should be able to be a jazz musician and make a living.”

“I'm a jazz piano player. That's what I do.”

“I love being a musician. I love the piano. I love the art of it.”

“I'm not an entertainer. I'm a musician. I'm a pianist.”

“I don't feel any pressure to be anything other than what I am.”

“I'm very much a seat-of-my-pants improviser.”

“I think the great thing about being a musician is that you never stop learning.”

“The music is the most important thing. I'm not saying I'm a writer or a bit of a poet. I'm just a musician.”

“I feel that I'm a pianist who sings. I'm a jazz musician.”

“I have a very eclectic iPod. So I've got my punk stuff, my rap stuff, my jazz stuff, my classical stuff, and that all gets thrown in the mix.”

“I have to have a creative role; I'm a creator.”

“When I'm not on the road, I'm a mom. I'm a wife. I'm a homebody.”

“I don't think it's the public's business what goes on in my life.”

“I'm just a girl from Nanaimo who plays the piano.”

“I think it's important to be straightforward and honest and to be direct. That's how I am, and I'm not going to change that for anybody.”
