I have nothing against bombastic music, but when it comes to making albums, I'd prefer to make music that has a sort of vulnerable subtlety to it.

More quotes by Moby
Scotland is one of my favourite places to perform: it's really something special. Scottish audiences are just so enthusiastic their approach to dance music just feels similar to my own somehow.
Moby
Research performed on animals is, by definition, scientifically unsound.
Moby
When I was fifteen years old, the only distinction in music my friends and I made was [that] there's music made by people with short hair and music made by people with long hair.
Moby
There are so many musicians, friends of mine, who play shows for ten people a night, or always desperately wanted a record contract. So even if every person on the planet loathes me, I have nothing to complain about. My job is not a bad job, so I can't complain.
Moby
I think there are two types of photographers, those who want to document the world and those who want to create their own world. I am more interested in documenting the world and presenting it to people with the question attached, 'Does this make any sense to you?'
Moby
And if we obey God, we must disobey ourselves, and it is in this disobeying ourselves, wherein the hardness of obeying God consists.
Moby
One of the reasons why fundamentalists are so aggressive in trying to promote fundamentalism is because deep down they know it's arbitrary. If you're comfortable with your belief you don't need to convince other people to agree with you.
Moby
I like to quote Homer Simpson: 'I'm like a chocoholic except for alcohol.' I come from a long line of alcoholics. It's funny because when I first started making records, I was at the tail end of a period of sobriety, so I somehow got this reputation as Captain Sober.
Moby
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.
Moby
You have climate change and antibiotic resistance which are two of the biggest horses of the apocalypse, and they're basically breathing on our necks, and there's no political will or effort being expended to deal with them.
Moby
One simple word: ugh. Is something still considered a conspiracy if it's played out right under our noses?
Moby
As time passes and the more advanced science becomes, the more interesting it becomes.
Moby
I feel like once the song is done, you put it out there and if people want to do bizarre remixes, if people want to make strange videos, great. You know, like chaos theory applied to the music business.
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
The moment a career is on a quantitative downswing, your loathsomeness is sort of attenuated.
Moby
I feel that one of the reasons Brexit happened was that people stayed at home rather than going to the polls.
Moby
I love that vinyl is actually growing in popularity, and that there are so many great record stores.
Moby
Sometimes I love the marriage of art and commerce I love Donna Summer I like the Rolling Stones.
Moby
I believe that the role of limited government should be looking after the needs of veterans, the elderly, children and those institutions that improve the quality of life for struggling families - I don't believe that government should bend to serve the needs of subsidized multi-national corporations and entitled billionaires.
Moby
I realized the universe is 15 billion years old and unspeakably complicated. I still love the teachings of Christ, but I also believe that the human condition prevents us from having any true objective knowledge and understanding of the universe.
Moby
