I went on tours with [Bob] Dylan - the big one was in 1975 and called Roaring Thunder Review. I knew him well because I met him around the time he did his second album, in 1963. He recorded one of my songs called Shadows. In the 1970s, it was suggested that we do a duet, because we had the same manager, Albert Grossman, who also managed Odetta and Peter, Paul and Mary. Dylan and I respected what each other did, but I just decided not to do it.

I had lots of friends who were fighting in Vietnam and I am still friends with veterans of the war.

You will go with me everywhere. When I'm dreaming, you still share my lonely nights.

The road to love is littered by the bones of other ones, who by the magic of the moment were mysteriously undone.

There is always something wrong with a song, you can't be perfect.

If you plan to face tomorrow, do it soon.

My daughter Meredith Moon from my second wife has a band that does Appalachian music, with five-strong banjo, clawhammer style. I may have to direct her somewhere. Meredith was my middle name. I would have to direct her because I am always directing something. She's in the musician's union and she is only 21. Your kids surprise you.
