What is Norah Jones' style? Is it just the albums that we've heard? She has a rock group where she plays guitar in, downtown in New York, so do we really know her style?

All I really want to do is plays - and that's a New York thing.

My musical influence is really from my father. He was a DJ in college. My parents met at New York University. So he listened to, you know, Motown, and he listened to Bob Dylan. He listened to Grateful Dead and Rolling Stones, but he also listened to reggae music. And he collected vinyl.

If you look at my career, doing albums with Norah Jones, Justin Timberlake, Gucci Mane and Lil Wayne or KRS-One and Jean Grae, I can't be pigeonholed.

I sang a lot in college - I was in a choral group in college. But, then, when I moved to New York, I really just concentrated on acting.

Georgia O'Keeffe proposed that I live with her. She was in New Mexico then, and I wanted to be in New York.
