I think she is brilliant, and I can’t imagine her coming out of any other country, any more than I can imagine Leonard Cohen coming out of any other country. There is such a thoughtfulness to the music that Feist has in spades. Same with Sarah Harmer.

I never thought I'd tour again, although I did have dreams ... Sometimes my dreams would entail me being up onstage and not remembering the words or the chords. It had a nightmarish quality, which did not invite me to pursue the enterprise.
He’s ever bit as deserving as Leonard Cohen, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell or Neil Young.
I want to thank the court, in the person of your honour
We always had a record on at home - Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen - or African music
It gives me no pleasure to see my onetime friend shackled to a chair in a court of law
I took their record player and put it in my bedroom when they upgraded to a CD player ... I used to love their records, whether it be Donovan, Leonard Cohen, The Beatles, Lindisfarne, Fairport Convention ... the ones people associate me with.
I want to thank the court, in the person of your honour ... for the cordial, even-handed and elegant manner in which these proceedings have unfolded. It was a privilege and an education to testify in this courtroom.
They’ve come in thinking, ‘these [won’t be] really any good, these will just be works that he’s done because he’s Leonard Cohen.’ And then they come in and they think, ‘Oh my God, the work is really worthy.’
It gives me no pleasure ... to see my one-time friend shackled to a chair in a court of law
If anything, I would somehow love to be connected to the incredible North American tradition of songwriting … whether it's Cole Porter or Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen. If I can get into that fantastic tradition, I'd be more than satisfied. That, in the end, is the most important thing to me.

A Los Angeles County jury Thursday found the former business and personal manager of singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen guilty of violating restraining orders, making harassing phone calls and sending thousands of harassing emails
It is my prayer that Ms. Lynch will take refuge in the wisdom of her religion, that a spirit of understanding will convert her heart from hatred to remorse, from anger to kindness, from the deadly intoxication of revenge to the lowly practices of self-reform
but on a positive note I also love Paul Simon and Leonard Cohen. They’re still living a good life, so maybe I’ll end up like them instead.
It makes me feel very conscious about my surroundings. Every time I see a car slow down, I get worried.
To get the opportunity to bring Leonard Cohen to the UK for his only appearance this year is a fantastic and humbling achievement. He is one of the undisputed forefathers of modern folk music and has honed his craft for nearly half a century. We’re over the moon he’s decided to join us for what will be ...
I was not willing to take the risk, the risk that someone who leaves me messages that are deranged and violent is not going to turn up outside my house
We found Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen and Gram Parsons and all their influences as well, like the Louvin Brothers. We were totally in love with this music.
It is a great honour, sweetened by my love of the work of Glenn Gould, and our collective appreciation of his invigorating and enduring presence in the world of music and imagination.
I want to thank the Glenn Gould Foundation for their kindness
