Moby
When Britney shaves off all her hair and beats paparazzi with umbrellas - that's what celebrities are supposed to do. They're not supposed to be reasonable, middle-aged guys drinking organic tea talking about semiotics.
Moby

Moby
The people who get more fame, who get more money, more often than not they are miserable, insecure and on anti-depressants. It's strange that everyone keeps buying into this idea that more success is good, that more fame is good, that more money is good. Yet, we look at the people who have more success, more fame, more money and they're miserable.

If I had to label myself now, I'd call myself a Taoist-Christian-agnostic quantum mechanic.
Moby
For me my biggest inspiration is trying to make music that effects me as much as the music made by my heroes.
Moby
