More quotes by Moby
One of the central flaws in the state of contemporary music is that the major record companies have failed to incorporate that simple fact into their business plans. They've come into an industry that's based on idiosyncratic artists and tried to erase every idiosyncratic aspect out of it.
Moby
If we base our belief systems on the humble assumption that the complexities of the world are ontologically beyond our understanding, then maybe our belief systems will make more sense and end up causing less suffering.
Moby
If you look at the history of demagoguery and fascism, it always happens when there are two things. It requires a gentle populace to allow it to happen, whether through laziness, ignorance or ineptitude, but it also requires a very angry, dissatisfied section of the populace who want egregiously simple answers to very complicated problems.
Moby
I'm offended by the is-ought fallacy, which has been used to justify slavery, women not being allowed to vote, children working in factories.
Moby
My main interest is just to work with people who have beautiful, interesting, emotive voices I'm not too concerned whether someone is famous.
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
People don't truly respond to something until they see the direct consequences.
Moby
I was never encouraged to believe anything. I was brought up in a profoundly agnostic or pantheistic community.
Moby
One can only snort so many ants and have so much sex before one starts to long for the comfort and companionship of a good book.
Moby
You know, if you love something, you should love it regardless of whether it costs five dollars or 500 or 5,000 dollars. Unfortunately, that's not the way our culture works, and we do collectively buy into this idea that things that are more expensive probably have more value.
Moby
I did a cover of the James Bond theme, and I felt like such a fraud, because the original is so good.
Moby
More often than not, whenever gossip has been written about me, the gossip is more interesting than the reality. I know some public figures hate gossip, but personally I like it because it makes my life sound more glamorous and interesting than it really is.
Moby
The main thing that excites me and makes me want to get out of bed is the thought of being able to go into my studio to work on music.
Moby
I love that vinyl is actually growing in popularity, and that there are so many great record stores.
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
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
If you're inclined to dismiss L.A. as a place of unrelenting vapidity and generic 1980s architecture, then you're doing yourself and L.A. a huge disservice, and you're just not looking hard enough.
Moby
At 3 o'clock in the morning on tour when you're sober is a lot less fun than 3 a.m. when you're drunk in a bar or in a nightclub. But having said that, 9 in the morning on tour sober is immeasurably better than 9 a.m. on tour when you're hung over and feeling like death.
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
