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
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 truly don't judge other people's actions. But I think that factory farming is an abomination.
Moby
What fascinates me about addiction and obsessive behavior is that people would choose an altered state of consciousness that's toxic and ostensibly destroys most aspects of your normal life, because for a brief moment you feel okay.
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
It's better to sail with a moody good captain than a laughing bad one.
Moby
Music can always serve a role in people's lives when it's emotional and warm and inviting and beautiful.
Moby
I think the ideal job in that alternative universe would be to lead whitewater rafting trips through the Grand Canyon. So maybe I'd be a guy leading whitewater rafting trips at the Grand Canyon. Or maybe a professional skydiver.
Moby
I did a cover of the James Bond theme, and I felt like such a fraud, because the original is so good.
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
One of the problems with being relatively conscious and human, is that you want to help everybody.
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
Sit down, close your eyes, and think about dogs for ten minutes. On a very clear, physiological, and neurochemical level, your body is changed by these really positive thoughts.
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
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
When playing big festivals, I tend to play big, over the top techno tracks, like hands in the air songs that make sense being played in front of 30,000 people. I steer away from subtlety in the interests of big bombastic dance music.
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
To paraphrase Paul from the New Testament, he has a great soliloquy about love, where he's basically saying, if I've figured out the secrets of the universe but I don't have love, figuring out the secrets of universe means nothing.
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
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
My job of being a musician in a recording studio has nothing to do with being a musician being on tour performing.
