"Leonard Cohen was the first artist I discovered by myself. He is the symbol of my musical independence. The sadness of Cohen was inspiring; it gave me a lot of energy. I always remember all this when someone says that my records are morbid or depressing." - Nick Cave
"I tell you who I also think is wonderful is a chap called Leonard Cohen. Do you know him? He's remarkable. I mean, the orchestration is fantastic and the words, the lyrics and everything, he's a remarkable man." - Prince Charles
"Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld/ so I can sigh eternally." - Nirvana, "Pennyroyal Tea"
