More quotes by Moby
There is a lot of music in the world that I love that does not always get the appropriate exposure.
Moby
It's sometimes too easy to point fingers when circumstances dramatically go awry, but as an addict, I'm ultimately responsible for my own decisions, no matter how benign or tragic the consequences.
Moby
I've made records that everyone has hated and I've loved, and made records that everyone has loved and I've deemed, at best, mediocre.
Moby
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.
Moby
I'm not trying to look for pity or sympathy. I was just surprised that so many people in the world of entertainment seemed to be okay with misogyny and homophobia as long as they were profiting from it.
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
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.
Moby
Should the progressives in Germany in the 30s have tolerated the National Socialists? Of course they shouldn't have.
Moby
When I do have time to work on music, I'm kind of selfish, and would rather work on my own stuff than someone else's.
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
I truly don't judge other people's actions. But I think that factory farming is an abomination.
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'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
All I want to do with my life is try and make music that I really love, and so every day I try and work on music.
Moby
It's the age old thing: If you want to get elected, blame immigrants. It worked in the 20th century and it works now, and it's heart-breaking to see people make the same mistakes. They're looking at a complicated world, but they just keep blaming immigrants, and it's really disturbing that people haven't got past that.
Moby
I see 'Ahab's Wife' as offering an alternative vision to
Moby
I guess the most emotional part is when I have that moment when I end up writing something that I really, really love. So not only is there the emotional connection with the music that's being created, but there's also the magic of the fact that you're essentially creating something from nothing.
Moby
I love lots of different types of music, but it's music that has this up-swelling of beauty and emotion that is most important to me.
Moby
Most artists, you know, you spend their entire lives learning how to play music and write songs, and they don't really know how the music business works.
Moby
My interest in gospel music and liturgical art and Biblically-inspired literature has nothing to do with organised religion and everything to do with human beings trying to figure out their place on this planet.
Moby
