“He was the most talented person I ever met. On one hand he had a divine grace that passed through him and manifested in the most extraordinary music. On the other hand he was an ordinary guy with problems just like anybody else. He also had the most outrageous wit I have ever encountered”– Merri Cyr “He was such a true artist. Such a student of his art. So inspired by the work that he was throwing himself into, and I suppose tortured by it too but it was a really beautiful thing to watch. Watching somebody work that hard, in public, is pretty wonderful. He was such a generous spirit. I’ve never been inspired by an artist quite that much, before or since. Not to that level”– Nicholas Hill

“Jeff moved really fast, like he was experiencing life at a very high speed and just really playfull, like a kid, but with some very strong secret and internal language that he had with himself. There was one area that was really intangible. You could look in his eyes sometimes and know he was reverberating inside himself, that he had these emotions and ideas that he probably would never tell anybody”–. Michael Thighe

“He was naive and hungry for knowledge and experience. He was a little boy with huge, six-foot eyes, all black, no pupils, taking it all in. I don’t think that people always understood him. I thinl that there were people who just went along with him, and people who were scared by him”–. Leah Reid.

“Jeff was all about love. Everything came down to basically, love is the most powerful in the universe. (…) Jeff was nobody’s martyr, and I don’t think he would like people turning him into the tragic young beautiful thing. (…). He would hate that”- Inger Lorre

"In December of 1993 Jeff Buckley came to a rented studio in New York City to meet me and my assistant @LyndaChurilla, showing up in a pork pie hat, carrying his guitar and his Judy Garland jacket on a hanger. His manager said, 'Take that hat off, get rid of that guitar and that jacket!' Jeff pretended not to hear him and I took the pictures. He did a little concert for us and we were there for hours and he invited us to come see him perform at CBGB the next night."-Bruce Weber

« It was a point where he was a little bit unsteady, and a lot more vulnerable. So we tried to help him. We took him breakfast, or, were like, Stay over… sleep on the couch I think that’s what he wanted… He felt like he could disappear. » — Dave Shouse

« He still felt like a boy. In some ways, he was very mature and developed, and in other ways, he was nothing near. »

« I feel like Memphis walked him down the aisle. Because he was dreaming about his death and he knew something was up, and he felt it… »

— Tammy Shouse

« It’s been 20 years and I am still dumbfounded by the beauty of his soul. » — Joan Wasser
