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.

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

When you listen to early Leonard Cohen records or Joni Mitchell records, you feel like a window is being opened into someone's life.

Lee Ranaldo

As you get older, some top notes drop off and bottom notes appear, which I quite like. You listen to Leonard Cohen or Johnny Cash, and you see the advantage of the lower end.

Peter Gabriel

I started as a songwriter and wanted to be like Leonard Cohen. I've always seen my stories as enlarged songs.

Kazuo Ishiguro

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

Ludovico Einaudi

Abjure all accretions and turn off the lights. Put on some music - Leonard Cohen, say, perhaps his 'Various Positions' - and let your mind cool down. Soon you'll forget there's a word called 'stress.'

Pico Iyer

For someone like me, who has grown up with Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, it's hard not to invest a lot of myself in what I do.

Jesse James is like a Leonard Cohen song, I wanted to do something that was like a pop song.

Andrew Dominik

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

Dr. Luke

Music-wise, I listen to everything. Leonard Cohen, Randy Newman, I guess I like a lot of 70's music.

Bret McKenzie

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

Julia Holter

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

Michelle Williams

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

Beth Hart

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.
