You know, I don't operate from a position of luxury. It's not as though I'm standing at a buffet table, and choosing between the herring and the caviar. You know, I'm more like a rat at the bottom of a barrel, trying to sink his teeth into something. And certain things yield, certain things surrender. And certain things don't. So I go with the things that yield, I go with the things that surrender to me.
— Leonard Cohen
