Maybe it's a form of overcompensation, but whenever I've toured, I've always needed a huge performance component.
Moby
If you're inclined to dismiss L.A. as a place of unrelenting vapidity and generic 1980s architecture, then you're doing yourself and L.A. a huge disservice, and you're just not looking hard enough.
Moby
I'm not trying to look for pity or sympathy. I was just surprised that so many people in the world of entertainment seemed to be okay with misogyny and homophobia as long as they were profiting from it.

I see 'Ahab's Wife' as offering an alternative vision to
Moby
I love the fact that no one's ever bought my record because they were enamoured of the way I look. Maybe one person. There must be someone out there with compromised taste.
Moby
Oftentimes things that seem really difficult and traumatic in the short term seem a lot less difficult and traumatic in the long term.
Moby
The world is experiencing great change, but you've got loads of people terrified of this change and the Donald Trumps, the Boris Johnsons making utterly simplistic, reductionist policy proposals that are unrealistic but then people buy it up.
Moby
I'm gonna have to start walking down the street and start hitting people in the head!
Moby
At 3 o'clock in the morning on tour when you're sober is a lot less fun than 3 a.m. when you're drunk in a bar or in a nightclub. But having said that, 9 in the morning on tour sober is immeasurably better than 9 a.m. on tour when you're hung over and feeling like death.
Moby
Doing interviews and touring are two ways that I can try to bring my music to people. It can be tiring, but it's better than working at Burger King.
Moby
A vegan who beats his wife is far further down the ethical ladder than a meat eater who's kind to his children.
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 have nothing against bombastic music, but when it comes to making albums, I'd prefer to make music that has a sort of vulnerable subtlety to it.
Moby
In 1991 I did an interview wherein I described myself as a 'teetotal Christian,' which was an exaggeration, although I do like tea and Christ.
Moby
If I were to be really petulant, I would say New York is the one doing the betraying. Because the New York I fell in love with doesn't really exist anymore.
Moby
Music can always serve a role in people's lives when it's emotional and warm and inviting and beautiful.
Moby
Being a vegan is pretty easy these days, as almost every town and city has health food stores and vegetarian-friendly restaurants.
Moby
By being vulnerable, either with yourself or in the presence of another person, that’s where all growth and ultimate well-being comes from.
Moby
I love lots of different types of music, but it's music that has this up-swelling of beauty and emotion that is most important to me.
Moby
When I was growing up I was an atheist, then an agnostic, and then I had a good eight or ten years of being quite a serious Christian.
