Quote

I think there are two types of photographers, those who want to document the world and those who want to create their own world. I am more interested in documenting the world and presenting it to people with the question attached, 'Does this make any sense to you?'

Luckily almost no one buys music anymore, so selling music doesn't really affect any of my professional decisions.

I don't have children, but I imagine if parents are really pushed on the subject, they probably have favorite children.
Moby
Image
I was never encouraged to believe anything. I was brought up in a profoundly agnostic or pantheistic community.
Moby
Image
You know, if you love something, you should love it regardless of whether it costs five dollars or 500 or 5,000 dollars. Unfortunately, that's not the way our culture works, and we do collectively buy into this idea that things that are more expensive probably have more value.

For me my biggest inspiration is trying to make music that effects me as much as the music made by my heroes.

Success usually breeds a degree of hubris.

Image
I realized the universe is 15 billion years old and unspeakably complicated. I still love the teachings of Christ, but I also believe that the human condition prevents us from having any true objective knowledge and understanding of the universe.

A great song is a great song, whether it's on vinyl or CD or cassette or reel to reel or mp3. Then again, that might be an overly optimistic view, but I do think that great music will transcend the medium in which it is delivered.

I'm just fascinated with the world that I can see, but I'm even more fascinated with the world that I can't see.
Moby
Image
Every single day the world seems like it is on the brink of falling apart. But then I look outside my window, and things look about the same as they did a week ago. It's almost a form of cognitive dissonance.

Image
I feel that one of the reasons Brexit happened was that people stayed at home rather than going to the polls.
Moby
Image
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
Image
My goal with everything that I do is to present things in a way that I would want to see if I was in the audience or buying the record.

Should the progressives in Germany in the 30s have tolerated the National Socialists? Of course they shouldn't have.

Image
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.

Sometimes I love the marriage of art and commerce I love Donna Summer I like the Rolling Stones.

I was in bar about 15 years ago, a relationship had ended badly, I was very drunk and I thought I would convince myself to try and be gay. Like, at one point I didn't like coffee, then I learned to like it.

It's much easier to have a diversified career as an electronic musician than it is as a drummer. Nothing against drummers. If you're a drummer, you just wait around for people to ask you to play drums. But if you have your own studio and can make music, you have the ability to approach music a lot differently.

It's a very strange phenomenon being hated by people you've never met. Some journalists just seem to hate me and everything I do, and it's disconcerting because I've never met this person.

Shaving your head is acceptable. It's when you start wearing toupees and brushing your hair over that things go wrong.
