Luckily almost no one buys music anymore, so selling music doesn't really affect any of my professional decisions.

More quotes by Moby
A lot of people do talk about the demise of the album, but I still believe that if an artist tries hard to make a great album, people will buy it and listen to it as an album, rather than just a collection of random songs.
Moby
I spent so much of my life reading about spirituality and reading about neuroscience and trying different meditation practices. It's a really big part of my life. But it's sometimes hard to talk about. There are so many people in the world who don't live in Southern California and don't spend their time meditating.
Moby
Oftentimes things that seem really difficult and traumatic in the short term seem a lot less difficult and traumatic in the long term.
Moby
When famous people are nice to me, it feels good, so I'm happy to hang out with them. It's better than being at home, depressed, reading 'The Hobbit.'
Moby
To me, one of the easiest ways of addressing climate change and potentially remedying climate change is to stop subsidizing animal agriculture.
Moby
The average life expectancy of a celebrity is 20 years less than someone working in a coal mine.
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 won't complain about touring, because I really do believe that a public-figure musician complaining about being a public-figure musician is just absurd. Like, 'Boo hoo hoo! I have to stand on stage and people pay attention to me!'
Moby
Intellectually, human beings and animals may be different, but it's pretty obvious that animals have a rich emotional life and that they feel joy and pain. It's easy to forget the connection between a hamburger and the cow it came from. But I forced myself to acknowledge the fact that every time I ate a hamburger, a cow had ceased to breathe
Moby
My reason for becoming a vegetarian was simple: I loved (and love) animals
Moby
The progressive movement needs more crazy and amoral/immoral right-wing politicians and pundits like Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich and Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity.
Moby
Success usually breeds a degree of hubris.
Moby
Music can always serve a role in people's lives when it's emotional and warm and inviting and beautiful.
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
I don't sleep very well when I travel. And as a result, I tend to be awake in cities when everyone else is asleep.
Moby
I feel compelled to make art that on one hand reflects and sometimes almost creates like a sense of comfort when confronted with the strangeness of the world.
Moby
So in 1987 I gave up all animal products and became a vegan. Simply so that I could eat and live in accordance with my beliefs that animals have their own lives, that they're entitled to their own lives and that contributing to animal suffering is something that I don't want to be a part of.
Moby
If you look at the history of popular music, the most successful musicians have started out being really marginal and esoteric. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Madonna. Prince. Bruce Springsteen. Fleetwood Mac. David Bowie. Public Enemy. Nirvana.
Moby
Doing interviews and touring are two ways that I can try to bring my music to people. It can be tiring, but it's better than working at Burger King.
Moby
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.
Moby
