Leonard Cohen On Why He Participated In I’m Your Man

#1 His [Cohen’s] respect for Lunson’s [Willie] Nelson documentary – and, Cohen has said, his response to “the kind of radiant presence Lian presents” – persuaded him to participate in the film.1

#2 Brantley Bardin: What made you decide to do it [participate in the “I’m Your Man” documentary]?

Leonard Cohen: I was approached by [director] Lian Lunson and she’s very beautiful.2

Thanks to Lian Lunson for permission to use the photo atop this post.

I am republishing selected posts from my former Leonard Cohen site, Cohencentric, here on AllanShowalter.com (these posts can be found at Leonard Cohen). This entry was originally posted April 12, 2012 at DrHGuy.com, a predecessor of Cohencentric.
