More quotes by Moby
More often than not, whenever gossip has been written about me, the gossip is more interesting than the reality. I know some public figures hate gossip, but personally I like it because it makes my life sound more glamorous and interesting than it really is.
Moby
The aggressive, energised, political, or even politicised, culturally aware music hasn't really existed [recently].
Moby
The moment that you impose your will on another person or animal, that's when we are allowed to say you have committed an ethical breach.
Moby
When I was growing up, all I wanted to do was fit in, but if you're perpetually an outsider, it gives you a perspective that might have a little more objectivity than people who really feel connected to their social environment in which they grow up.
Moby
I have to say that being a vegan in 1986 or whenever was a lot different than being a vegan in 2012. You'd go to health foods stores and basically your choice was between Mung beans and nutritional yeast, and that's about it.
Moby
I'm sure most people have this experience: when you're young you drink, you do drugs, you stay up late, and there are no consequences.
Moby
Why can't a democrat get fired up about protecting the environment and enacting gun control legislation just as right wing republicans get fired up about making sure that children have access to assault weapons and banning 'the Catcher in the Rye' and 'Harry Potter'?
Moby
I was trying to convince myself I could learn to be gay - but no. That's one of my great regrets.
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 offended by the is-ought fallacy, which has been used to justify slavery, women not being allowed to vote, children working in factories.
Moby
I love to be busy. I'm envious of people who are able to take their spare time and relax. All I like to do is work. Perhaps it's lingering Calvinist guilt?
Moby
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.
Moby
I stopped drinking and realised New York still has a lot of charm, but it has become so bourgeois and affluent - and I can't really complain because I'm sort of bourgeois and affluent myself, but I like living in a place where artists and musicians and writers can actually pay the rent.
Moby
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.
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
The average life expectancy of a celebrity is 20 years less than someone working in a coal mine.
Moby
I did a cover of the James Bond theme, and I felt like such a fraud, because the original is so good.
Moby
Sometimes I love the marriage of art and commerce I love Donna Summer I like the Rolling Stones.
Moby
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.
Moby
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.
