You can sit down with Reason or Ableton and literally in a couple of hours make a very good-sounding record. But then a lot of people become contented with that, rather than pushing themselves to making something that sounds great.

More quotes by 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.
Moby
For better or worse, I'm interested in just about everything: every different type of music I can imagine. I can never see a reason to choose just one type of music at the exclusion of everything else. Different types of music are capable of being rewarding in different kinds of ways.
Moby
Growing up in Connecticut, all the Colonial houses looked alike. In Los Angeles, the diversity is so extreme, it's baffling.
Moby
It seems so antithetical to the teachings of Christ to proclaim your faith in public. I mean, of course you're not supposed to hide your light under a bushel.
Moby
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.
Moby
When public figures think they can open a business even though they've got no business experience, it's a bad idea.
Moby
I'd much rather go out and have music randomly presented to me by different DJs than stay home and discover it on my own.
Moby
I honestly just love being in my studio working on music. That's all the inspiration I need. And I don't write with an end result in mind, I just write for the simple love of writing.
Moby
One problem with a lot of musicians is that they remove themselves in a studio and make a record and assume people are going to pay attention to it just because they've made it.
Moby
I think the word 'blog' is an ugly word. I just don't know why people can't use the word 'journal.'
Moby
When I was fifteen years old, the only distinction in music my friends and I made was [that] there's music made by people with short hair and music made by people with long hair.
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
I'm a terrible cook, so I usually eat out with friends.
Moby
If I had to label myself now, I'd call myself a Taoist-Christian-agnostic quantum mechanic.
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
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've worked with all sorts of random people - everybody from Metallica to Britney Spears to Ozzy Osbourne to Michael Jackson to the Beastie Boys. I've got a really strange CV. It's interesting - I work with a lot of these disparate, different people to learn what it's like to work with random people.
Moby
For some reason New York is the epicentre for people who hate me. Maybe this is another reason why I left New York but I get more hatred directed towards me there than any other place.
Moby
A vegan who beats his wife is far further down the ethical ladder than a meat eater who's kind to his children.
Moby
When I was nine years old, I started playing guitar, and I took classical guitar lessons and studied music theory. And played jazz for a while. And then when I was around fourteen years old, I discovered punk rock. And so I then tried to unlearn everything I had learned in classical music and jazz so I could play in punk rock bands.
