I made a record in 1996 called 'Animal Rights' that was a very difficult, very dark punk-rock record. Of all the records I've made, it's my favorite one. It's also the one that got the worst reviews and sold the worst.

More quotes by Moby
If Nirvana had remained a small, underground punk rock band, Kurt Cobain would still be alive. And he'd probably be living in Seattle, getting kind of fat and balding, be relatively happy and producing records for other people.
Moby
You have climate change and antibiotic resistance which are two of the biggest horses of the apocalypse, and they're basically breathing on our necks, and there's no political will or effort being expended to deal with them.
Moby
Most artists, you know, you spend their entire lives learning how to play music and write songs, and they don't really know how the music business works.
Moby
Intellectually, human beings and animals may be different, but it's pretty obvious that animals have a rich emotional life and that they feel joy and pain. It's easy to forget the connection between a hamburger and the cow it came from. But I forced myself to acknowledge the fact that every time I ate a hamburger, a cow had ceased to breathe
Moby
Lord, I want to be up in my heart.
Moby
Never have public feuds with anyone who's surrounded by people who carry guns.
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
I was raised with this idea that we're supposed to be tolerant of other people's opinions, but then what happens if other people's opinions are racist and hateful and wrong?
Moby
When I was in my twenties, I thought I was bulletproof.
Moby
I wasn't raised Catholic I just really like the image of a neutral and benign Mary floating around somewhere, being nice to people.
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
I'm a terrible cook, so I usually eat out with friends.
Moby
Music can always serve a role in people's lives when it's emotional and warm and inviting and beautiful.
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
I truly don't judge other people's actions. But I think that factory farming is an abomination.
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
Up until I started working with him, I had thought that music was a nice thing that I enjoyed and liked making, but it wasn’t a serious healing modality. What Dr. Sacks has proven is that music is actually a quantifiable, profound healing modality.
Moby
I'm like a bad musical cliche because I bring my guitar on the road and try to write songs in hotel rooms.
Moby
I feel like sometimes we have to be a little less inclusive and tolerant if other people's opinions could lead to the destruction of our species.
Moby
There's an aesthetic theme, which is cities at two o'clock in the morning. Not cities packed with people going out to clubs and dancing but desolate, empty streets. It's off-putting but there's a strange comfort to it as well, that desolate urban environment.
