More quotes by Moby
The world is too big and too intricate to conform to our ideas of what it should be like... Just because we invent myths and theories to explain away the chaos we're still going to live in a world that's older and more complicated than we'll ever understand.
Moby
As music became more profitable in the 1990s, it seemed like it attracted a lot of people who were just interested in the financial aspect of it, which is depressing.
Moby
You can sit down with Reason or Ableton and literally in a couple of hours make a very good-sounding record. But then a lot of people become contented with that, rather than pushing themselves to making something that sounds great.
Moby
As long as the world continues to be strange and interesting, I still want to take pictures of it.
Moby
Nothing can stop us now 'cause we are all made of stars.
Moby
The aggressive, energised, political, or even politicised, culturally aware music hasn't really existed [recently].
Moby
I love the idea of making records that people can use, records that have a sense of utility.
Moby
The moment that you impose your will on another person or animal, that's when we are allowed to say you have committed an ethical breach.
Moby
It seems so antithetical to the teachings of Christ to proclaim your faith in public. I mean, of course you're not supposed to hide your light under a bushel.
Moby
When I tour I'm going to countries to play music for people. My presence in a country is not an endorsement or a condemnation of that country's policies. My presence in a country is an effort to connect with people through playing music.
Moby
For me my biggest inspiration is trying to make music that effects me as much as the music made by my heroes.
Moby
Growing up in Connecticut, all the Colonial houses looked alike. In Los Angeles, the diversity is so extreme, it's baffling.
Moby
There is a lot of music in the world that I love that does not always get the appropriate exposure.
Moby
I honestly just love being in my studio working on music. That's all the inspiration I need. And I don't write with an end result in mind, I just write for the simple love of writing.
Moby
I don't think of myself as a singer I usually end up singing when I can't find anyone better to sing, or when I'm too lazy to find someone better.
Moby
I'm sure most people have this experience: when you're young you drink, you do drugs, you stay up late, and there are no consequences.
Moby
Music can always serve a role in people's lives when it's emotional and warm and inviting and beautiful.
Moby
Why can't a democrat get fired up about protecting the environment and enacting gun control legislation just as right wing republicans get fired up about making sure that children have access to assault weapons and banning 'the Catcher in the Rye' and 'Harry Potter'?
Moby
I met Elton John at an Interview dinner, and we just sort of became friends. He's got such a wicked sense of humor.
Moby
If you don't want to be beaten, imprisoned, mutilated, killed ot tortured, then you shouldn't condone such behaviour towards anyone, be they human or not.
