More quotes by Moby
One of the nice things about licensing music to movies or advertisements is you can reach a lot of people who normally wouldn't hear music.
Moby
If I was a sex symbol, I would be getting laid a lot more than I am now.
Moby
I know, in my heart of hearts, I don't do things for money.
Moby
I've dated some very enthusiastic, attractive people and some very unenthusiastic, less attractive people. I see no correlation. But female friends of mine who have dated male public figures have found that is the case. They say male models are terrible in bed, because they feel like just showing up is all the effort they need to make.
Moby
Maybe it's a form of overcompensation, but whenever I've toured, I've always needed a huge performance component.
Moby
When you say 'failure,' that seems really dramatic, but a lot of failure is just really depressing and mundane. I remember the first time I ever played a concert in Italy. I played a venue that held 900 people, and I think five people showed up. It wasn't a big, 'John Carter of Mars' type failure. It wasn't dramatic it was just depressing.
Moby
Ketamine's such a waste of time drug. All you do when you're on ketamine is go: 'Oh, I'm on drugs. I don't feel good, I don't feel bad, I'm just on drugs...'
Moby
I'm offended by the is-ought fallacy, which has been used to justify slavery, women not being allowed to vote, children working in factories.
Moby
We almost need to cultivate - I hate to sound New Age-y - but to cultivate a positive bias, and really work to focus on those things and notice those things that are wonderful and uplifting.
Moby
A few years ago, before I stopped drinking, I was feeling very sorry for myself and very drunk, and I Googled 'Moby Sucks'. In less than one second something like 20 million responses came up... yeah, there has been a lot of loathing directed towards me, and it used to drive me crazy.
Moby
The truth is that genetics has robbed me of hair. But it's not interesting to blame genetics.
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 demise of the monolithic record industry has been, for a lot of people, really liberating and emancipating.
Moby
It's heartbreaking that so many hundreds of millions of people around the world are desperate for the right to vote, but here in America people stay home on election day.
Moby
One of the problems with being relatively conscious and human, is that you want to help everybody.
Moby
The young have to kill the old. The young, if they want to achieve their own platform, have to diminish the reputations of the ones that have gone before. That's how life works.
Moby
My secret is being not terrible at a lot of things.
Moby
I truly believe, as an institution, most major labels should just die.
Moby
If someone writes a nice review of my record, I feel like I should take them out to dinner or go over and clean their apartment.
Moby
Scotland is one of my favourite places to perform: it's really something special. Scottish audiences are just so enthusiastic their approach to dance music just feels similar to my own somehow.
