Up until I started working with him, I had thought that music was a nice thing that I enjoyed and liked making, but it wasn’t a serious healing modality. What Dr. Sacks has proven is that music is actually a quantifiable, profound healing modality.

I think a lot of self-importance is a product of fear. And fear, living in sort of an un-self-examined fear-based life, tends to lead to narcissism and self-importance.

I honestly haven't thought much about what to play and where, perhaps i should...it seems like most musicians are better at that than I am.

If I had to label myself now, I'd call myself a Taoist-Christian-agnostic quantum mechanic.

To truly live a creative life means that you will need to experiment in as many different fields as possible.

For me to speak out against the war in Iraq, you know - most of my fans are lefties anyway, so I don't really get much flack for it.

My goal is to make one-not a hodgepodge, but just the sort of record that I would want to listen to.

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.

There are a lot of people in the animal rights movement who can be very passionate and aggressive, and I applaud people's passion, but when people are judgmental and aggressive, all you end up doing is getting other people to turn away in irritation. To change people's minds, you have to respect the people you're talking to.

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.

I truly believe, as an institution, most major labels should just die.

I've been friends with madonna for ever. In fact she was at my 3rd solo performance in 1990, and there were only 10 people in the audience.

The average life expectancy of a celebrity is 20 years less than someone working in a coal mine.

The moment a career is on a quantitative downswing, your loathsomeness is sort of attenuated.

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.

For my most of my career I've been a falling-down drunk. Most of my interviews were done hungover, and for a while it was great.

I love the idea of making records that people can use, records that have a sense of utility.

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.

When you're signed to a big label you're always in the position of convincing them, especially now because labels are barely keeping the lights on, so getting them to spend a little bit of money is really hard.
Moby

I don't think too much about how it might exist in the world in a commercial sense - I more just try and focus on making music that I love and trying to put it out into the world.

I've made records that everyone has hated and I've loved, and made records that everyone has loved and I've deemed, at best, mediocre.
