Quote

If I spend 100 days in a row making music there’s a chance nothing will come of it. But if I spend 100 days not making music it’s guaranteed that nothing will come of it. So keep working.

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.

One of the main reasons I'm vegan is because I'm ethically lazy. My friends who eat meat or who eat eggs have to sometimes wrestle with the ethical consequences of their actions. By being vegan, I take the easy way out.

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.

Dogs have boundless enthusiasm but no sense of shame. I should have a dog as a life coach.
Moby
Image
The way I work on music is that I go into my studio, and I start playing music, and I see what happens, and... I never think about it.

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.

I'm like a bad musical cliche because I bring my guitar on the road and try to write songs in hotel rooms.

When Britney shaves off all her hair and beats paparazzi with umbrellas - that's what celebrities are supposed to do. They're not supposed to be reasonable, middle-aged guys drinking organic tea talking about semiotics.

Now small fowls flew screaming over the yet yawning gulf a sullen white surf beat against its steep sides then all collapsed and the great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago.

I'm gonna have to start walking down the street and start hitting people in the head!

Traffic terrifies me.

I don't think I'm a particularly good writer, and I'm not terribly insightful.
Moby
Image
For me my biggest inspiration is trying to make music that effects me as much as the music made by my heroes.
Moby
Image
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
Image
When someone comes to me and says the music I've made has affected them emotionally, that's the most gratifying part of my job.

If we base our belief systems on the humble assumption that the complexities of the world are ontologically beyond our understanding, then maybe our belief systems will make more sense and end up causing less suffering.

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

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
Image
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.

There is nothing terribly wrong with my face, even if some of its parts aren't very inspiring.
