My goal with everything that I do is to present things in a way that I would want to see if I was in the audience or buying the record.

More quotes by Moby
I'm like a monk with a taste for hookers.
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
Every single day the world seems like it is on the brink of falling apart. But then I look outside my window, and things look about the same as they did a week ago. It's almost a form of cognitive dissonance.
Moby
I honestly just love being in my studio working on music. That's all the inspiration I need. And I don't write with an end result in mind, I just write for the simple love of writing.
Moby
People don't truly respond to something until they see the direct consequences.
Moby
I love that vinyl is actually growing in popularity, and that there are so many great record stores.
Moby
If you and I become vegans, the global consequences aren't going to be that much. But if we can get a few hundred million people to become a little more aware and cut back on their animal consumption, the consequences will be great.
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
And if we obey God, we must disobey ourselves, and it is in this disobeying ourselves, wherein the hardness of obeying God consists.
Moby
I did a cover of the James Bond theme, and I felt like such a fraud, because the original is so good.
Moby
My reason for becoming a vegetarian was simple: I loved (and love) animals
Moby
When you say 'failure,' that seems really dramatic, but a lot of failure is just really depressing and mundane. I remember the first time I ever played a concert in Italy. I played a venue that held 900 people, and I think five people showed up. It wasn't a big, 'John Carter of Mars' type failure. It wasn't dramatic it was just depressing.
Moby
I've worked with all sorts of random people - everybody from Metallica to Britney Spears to Ozzy Osbourne to Michael Jackson to the Beastie Boys. I've got a really strange CV. It's interesting - I work with a lot of these disparate, different people to learn what it's like to work with random people.
Moby
I met Elton John at an Interview dinner, and we just sort of became friends. He's got such a wicked sense of humor.
Moby
I read the New Testament, specifically the gospels and I was struck at their divinity, feeling that humans could not have figured this out on their own. We're just not bright enough.
Moby
You can sit down with Reason or Ableton and literally in a couple of hours make a very good-sounding record. But then a lot of people become contented with that, rather than pushing themselves to making something that sounds great.
Moby
Traffic terrifies me.
Moby
I used to have a lot of envy for those musicians who have been universally loved.
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
Whenever I've had success, I never learn from it. Success usually breeds a degree of hubris. When you fail, that's when you learn.
Moby
