In some of the greatest recordings ever made, the performance is a part of the recording. Dylan's 'Rainy Day Women No. 12 and 35' is all about the esthetic of that performance. You can hear the room.

More quotes by Moby
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.

I’ve been making electronic music for twenty some odd years but, because I grew up playing in punk rock bands, when I started touring, I thought in order to be a viable touring musician I had to do it with a band. I would DJ or tour with a full rock band.

The aggressive, energised, political, or even politicised, culturally aware music hasn't really existed [recently].
Moby
To paraphrase Paul from the New Testament, he has a great soliloquy about love, where he's basically saying, if I've figured out the secrets of the universe but I don't have love, figuring out the secrets of universe means nothing.
Moby
I did a cover of the James Bond theme, and I felt like such a fraud, because the original is so good.
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
One of the problems with being relatively conscious and human, is that you want to help everybody.

I was never encouraged to believe anything. I was brought up in a profoundly agnostic or pantheistic community.

There is a long and interesting tradition of really marginal left-field music that becomes commercially successful. And I will, for a brief minute, fit into that tradition.
Moby
My job of being a musician in a recording studio has nothing to do with being a musician being on tour performing.
Moby
Sometimes I love the marriage of art and commerce I love Donna Summer I like the Rolling Stones.
Moby
There was a time when I was way too reliant upon other people's opinions and perspective of me. And I guess over time came to see how unhealthy that was. I mean it's almost like a sign of mental illness to base your self-worth on the opinions of complete strangers.

I like being vegan, I think it's good for my health.

I see 'Ahab's Wife' as offering an alternative vision to
Moby
I think the word 'blog' is an ugly word. I just don't know why people can't use the word 'journal.'
Moby
I feel like once the song is done, you put it out there and if people want to do bizarre remixes, if people want to make strange videos, great. You know, like chaos theory applied to the music business.
Moby
In the past I've had public feuds with people, and I have really not benefited from any of them. The feud with Eminem did kind of torpedo my career in the United States, but it also introduced me to Middle America in a way I never could have conceived of.
Moby
We hope that as a species we're capable of dealing with environmental catastrophe before it actually does collectively kill most of us.
Moby
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.
Moby
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.
