Leonard Cohen

There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.

A woman watches her body uneasily, as though it were an unreliable ally in the battle for love.

Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

I'm a bit of an insomniac. I'm always thinking. I've got a lot of ideas for lyrics and shows. I have a notepad by the side of the bed and voice recorders around the house.
