I do own CDs by Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, and Joni Mitchell, but I don't think of them as being major influences on my writing.

James Arthur

Leonard Cohen can give you "Leonard Cohen" - the self-deprecating wit, the slow, considered speech, the perfectly-honed anecdote - Tom Waits is far more comfortable giving a journalist "Tom Waits" the character, whose conversation is really a series of strange tales, learned or ad-libbed.

Sylvie Simmons

Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. They're my biggest heroes. I love everything about Leonard Cohen: his lyrics and his voice. He seems like a really clever man, and Bob Dylan does as well. He's just really cool.

Aurora

People always talk about the lyrics of Leonard Cohen, but I like his melodies. They are very defined and original.

Ludovico Einaudi

My friends and I took songwriting very, very seriously. My hero was and still is Bob Dylan, but also people like Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell and that whole generation.

Kazuo Ishiguro

My music isn't Leonard Cohen. But people are going to smile when it comes on.

Dr. Luke

Leonard Cohen has a way with words and with humor that remind me to lighten up, which I appreciate very much.

Damien Rice

The way that I write is very instinctual and based off raw feeling--I'm a very emotional person and I think that comes across in my writing. Also the songwriting that I enjoy, for example Elliott Smith, Leonard Cohen and Nico tend to be both photographic and visceral.

Arlo Parks

I am a huge Leonard Cohen person.

Michelle Williams

What was special about Leonard Cohen's work was its calm mystery.

Julia Holter

Leonard Cohen is probably the greatest lyricist for music that's ever lived, you know?

Beth Hart

When I was filming the Marilyn Monroe movie, I was listening to a lot of Leonard Cohen.

Michelle Williams

Sometimes I feel like Leonard Cohen when he went off to become a Buddhist.

Leo Sayer

I can cry myself to sleep because I'm not as great as Leonard Cohen, but who cares? Maybe you can't be as great as some people, but it's a tragedy when you don't follow your dreams.

Lykke Li

Some people, like Leonard Cohen, write one album every 10 years, and labor over a song for five years at a time.

PJ Harvey

Ray Leonard is more the family man, kind of quiet. He's not as outgoing as Sugar Ray Leonard. Sugar Ray Leonard was very determined, very focused, very outgoing and very selfish, if you will. There are two different individuals there.

Sugar Ray Leonard
