Stina did a very good job, she was a good listener, asked interesting questions, and showed a lot of curiosity about this man and his profound wisdom.

[@irva1952]

Leonard chooses his words so carefully. I just love all of his records, he's amazing. He will be missed.

[@Stringman1950]

I love the way he chooses his words. He’s a poet through and through. He speaks with the poets eye.

[@DanseDePuck]

This man had a Scottie. He is by far my favorite writer and composer. I have had Scotties for 40 years. But this man should never have left this world, ever. Love you so very much, man!!! You've taught me so much through your writings and songs. ♥️🇦🇷 From Buenos Aires, Argentina.

[@davidbrown7213]

Great interviewer because she asks questions most wouldn't and he goes deeper in his thoughts because of it.

[@judya9164]

My english lit teacher introduced me to Leonard in grade 7; Instant infatuation. Leonard spoke to my heart with his poetry, his beautiful melodies, crooning voice, charm, eloquent expressions of life, and wonderful humour. ❤️ Love him so. 🙏 Bless you Leonard for sharing your gift, touching hearts everywhere.

[@carlogiottones348]

It has been a while since he left us...I don't try to follow too many things about him because it's just painful, to be reminded of our mortality and the way he embraced it, modeled it, explained it to us in such brilliant terms. But every time I sit down with him, with a drink companion on a KZbin video, I feel at ease and although the world right now is messed up (euphemism...) and shallow and headed for self-destruction, I like the way he got it, and the way he explained it to us.... I wish more people did. And I wish I could be more optimistic...

[@user-bp6gp2rc1v]

Carlo Giottones Yes, to all you say.

[@hnttakata713]

Carlo Giottones beautifully said. You are never alone

[@aaronaaron5968]

is it really that painful. so safe to say you medicate normally and cant face anyting intimate in your life if you cant face thinkking about an artist who died you didnt know

[@mandolinwind]

I can't help to find more and more about him😢

[@dyannnecat]

I love this man. He's so honest. It's why his songs touch you so much. I love his smile, that prolonged smile. He really likes women. That's so likable, lovable really.

[@mihaelatudor2417]

Diane Noland She is Swedish, isn’t she?

[@brendahicks5984]

Yes, the man pursues but the woman sits on her pedestal totally in charge!

[@christrinder1255]

I’m female and nearly 70 and know exactly what he’s talking about! So happy now the ‘angst of youth and middle age’ is all behind me. Happy and contented now.

[@lawrencewwhite6695]

I am 84, and the angst to which you refer will never be totally behind me.

[@dianeallen6819]

I am 60 born and raised by my stern German parents and the rest of my blood relatives. Manners was the better of it all .. In fact we couldn't talk unless spoken to it was all normal with us kids then I raised my 4 children with impeccable mannerisms but I wasn't as stern like my parents with other things ... I love life (most-of-the-time) lol

[@helenaleniagnifacq1009]

This interview is so, so, so wonderful!

[@mial2781]

Love the guy. Simple and good answers. You can learn a lot from him, just listening.

[@marshaennis1884]

I so love this beautiful man wish he were still with us. See you in heaven leonard.

[@johnnypastrana6727]

He IS still with us...certainly on the spiritual plane.

[@sunlion9676]

Leonard as a ladies man - a shallow stereotype and yet his songs do speak about the struggles of the heart. I think there is so much to LC that every one curious enough or with a sense of humour will be touched by him.

[@reallight9637]

Mr. Cohen I love everything about you and thank you for the songs and wisdom really impressive..

[@jovanblom7742]

I've always been a fan of his songs. Now I'm a fan of the man.

[@o_solovio]

Don't get why so much hate against the interviewer. To begin with, this was part of a program for the mainstream media, so we shouldn't expect a "in deph" interview at all. Also this is Leonard Cohen, one of the most misterious men ever to be born. As a journalist myself I find it really admirable the way she confronts the interview. Cohen's great, as always.

[@mihaelatudor2417]

Iago This common misconception that mainstream media needs mainly trash is the reason why ,for more than a decade, we gave up television altogether. Most educated families have long stopped being exposed to substandard language, lack of real information, lack of cultural value and , generally, brainwashing.

[@gmalish1456]

Iago lmao I was gonna say! This is what we want to know! We want to get in that brain as much as we can !!

[@45Happydays]

Romantic in so many ways A beautiful soul

[@joefogarty513]

i would love to be half the man he is. his calm self deprecation is a beautiful thing to behold

[@janewayn]

Cohn is wonderful and his voice is too❤️💯

[@Rima27254]

Love the guy ! So impressive and profound

[@manordan]

Very intelligent person ,lovely mr. Cohen

[@PeterBloecker]

I find this great texter and singer decent and honest - one of the best ever...

[@zindagi_uncut]

his interviews are profound, insightful just like his songs. you can not NOT love this man.

[@grohulthin8271]

Wat a man ❤️

[@MySallycinnamon]

What an amazing man he was ......and still is..

[@marcysheiner2152]

I totally adore this man.

[@bluestarcesium]

He says ‘it is unfair to present yourself with brutal honesty’, then she asks him to be brutally honest. He wants to be social, and his secret life is where he can be honest. In a social life of the interview he goes where she goes.

[@soldtobediers]

0:00 - 1:20 ''Every artist gathers somewhat; from the milk of other artists. But what makes it ''Honest''... is the fact that you have churned it, into your own work's butter.'' -gilpin 8519 ''There are artists who can wrest us up, & place us into themselves. These are the very 'One's' who will continue to wrest us up... Far beyond their rests in peace.''-gilpin 8519 The very hat of my soul is off; to the interviewer's kind art... in her domino effect of questions. 5:22 ''You can tell by the kindness of a dog how a human should be.-Don Van Vliet (Capt.Beefheart) ''Try to be the kind of person that your dog thinks you are.''-Alice Cooper

[@soldtobediers]

The hat of my being is off to the interviewer's kind method in her domino effect of questions posed.

[@misszumbalina]

There is an interview done by another woman, where they talk about depression. She treats Cohen like a hostile obnoxious politician. The great man is truly great, very gracious throughout the whole interview. In this one, some questions could have been avoided, but, overall, I think it's ok.

[@dijanirajeronimo2569]

Gente eu não conhecia ele, estou apaixonada pela voz dele e ele nem esperou pra me dizer eu te amo!

[@helenapestana5206]

Conheço há anos suas composições maravilhosas, apaixonantes! A voz mais linda do mund o.Queria ter conhecido pessoalmente.! Sensibilidade aflorada por todos os poros.Eterno Leonard!!!! So long. Siga em paz!

[@DoURSVP]

it was very wise kind of upbringing, it did not invite self-indulgent.

[@alexandrastratanphotographer]

there is a certain depth to this man, and I find it a bit odd that the interviewer waltzes around the "sexual topic".

[@Ramblin-Man]

She was too horny to behave properly...stupid woman. An embarrassing interview...saw it back in 2001. A fan since February 1984. RIP.

[@Randolino]

@Pamela Bergner You all are all crude people, totally missing the refinement of this dance, an attempt to trash the exquisite.

[@TheAzerbijian]

Alexandra Stratan indeed she seems a bit obsessive about his sexuality. I think she wants him 😍

[@maryhanson9676]

[@brendahicks5984]

The man was freaking "HOT'"..She was totally smitten!!!🔥🔥 🔥 🔥

[@maryamjanahi333]

@2:55

[@odilesupiot1036]

❤❤❤

[@melliness123]

He did not discuss his feeling with his parents "nobody was interested in his inner condition" this treatment of children creates depression as an adult, he was not allowed to be himself, or show himself, he was not accepted for who he really was.

[@DoURSVP]

But he became an artist.

[@thedirtymac5594]

He deserved better than the silly questions of the interviewer.

[@mkatz2757]

It's his voice

[@positivetimeline2023]

The interviewer has strong Russian or Polish accent

[@eisteachbhinn]

‘Unfair to tell people how you are...’ 😢. I disagree up to a point and do not see it as self indulgent. ‘Secret Life’ is a brilliant and moving composition which underpins Leonard Cohen’s belief around this subject matter.

[@gmalish1456]

eisteachbhinn Bingo! I feel he probably avoided hurting any woman as best he could.. but totally agree that’s what I’ve always got from that song.. one of my favourites 🥰

[@lynnnicholas64]

2 flirts having a conversation.

[@wildbill5670]

He was once married to Rebecca de mornay.

[@lizzyfaire8857]

He was never married to anyone. Look it up.

[@christopherwilson122]

nice tie, obviously goorit bristol tie shop.

[@rosethorn2873]

Sex LESSER than the LOVE WITHIN the HEART.. That love will DOES BOND throughout a LIFE- time. Its the sweetest. THING.LOVE.

[@TheAzerbijian]

Does she think that somehow sex and spirituality are mutually exclusive? 😟

[@Ohvegetables]

wtf @ the interview......

[@RuthCampbell123]

I could have done a better interview .

[@ramcaroline]

A 5 yr. old could have done a better interview.

I wish he had been interviewed by somebody else, Stina Dabrowski did not match his honesty.

It's all just a joke..apart from the 1st album of course
