Quote

So man's insanity is heaven's sense, and wandering from all mortal reason, man comes at last to that celestial thought, which, to reason, is absurd and frantic and weal or woe, feels then uncompromised, indifferent as his God.

The aggressive, energised, political, or even politicised, culturally aware music hasn't really existed [recently].
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.

I wasn't raised Catholic I just really like the image of a neutral and benign Mary floating around somewhere, being nice to people.

I would drink and drink and then at 3 o'clock in the morning take anything that was put in front of me. And I'd sometimes be disappointed when conventional things were put in front of me. Like, I'd do a line of something and be disappointed to find it was just cocaine.

An artist in 2014 who is thinking about album sales is either sadly deluded or has to make so many commercial compromises that it sort of takes the joy out of making music.

Whenever I've had success, I never learn from it. Success usually breeds a degree of hubris. When you fail, that's when you learn.

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

Have I dated a supermodel? Of course not. I'd look ridiculous.

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.

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.

There are a lot of people in the animal rights movement who can be very passionate and aggressive, and I applaud people's passion, but when people are judgmental and aggressive, all you end up doing is getting other people to turn away in irritation. To change people's minds, you have to respect the people you're talking to.

The demise of the monolithic record industry has been, for a lot of people, really liberating and emancipating.

Nothing can stop us now 'cause we are all made of stars.

The world is too big and too intricate to conform to our ideas of what it should be like... Just because we invent myths and theories to explain away the chaos we're still going to live in a world that's older and more complicated than we'll ever understand.

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.

I have actually found myself buying up more and more old analogue gear. I have this strange obsession with old drum machines.

Musicians, actors, writers - we're all neurotic, odd people who've lucked into accidental careers. So I just don't like being around public figures with that sense of entitlement, it just seems unhealthy, and it strips so much potential for them to develop as a human being.

When public figures think they can open a business even though they've got no business experience, it's a bad idea.

I'm a terrible cook, so I usually eat out with friends.
