An Interviewer inquired about the writing of the song "Hallelujah.”
LEONARD: “That was a song that took me a long time to write. Dylan and I were having coffee the day after his concert in Paris a few years ago and he was doing that song in concert. And he asked me how long it took to write it. And I told him a couple of years. I lied actually. It was more than a couple of years. Then I praised a song of his, 'I and I' and asked him how long it had taken and he said, ‘Fifteen minutes.’” -- SongTalk, April 1993
