"The last time I met Bob was after a concert he'd done in Paris. We met in a cafe and we had a real good writers talk. You couldnt meet two people who work more differently. He said, "I like the song you wrote called Hallelujah. How long did it take you?" And I said, "Oh the best part of two years." He said, "two years?" Kinda shocked. And then we started talking about a song of his called I and I from infidels. I said, "How long did you take to write that?" He said, "Ohhh, 15 minutes." I almost fell off my chair. Bob just laughed." - Leonard Cohen
