I love lots of different types of music, but it's music that has this up-swelling of beauty and emotion that is most important to me.

More quotes by Moby
The aggressive, energised, political, or even politicised, culturally aware music hasn't really existed [recently].
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
People assume that somehow fame and wealth will keep mortality at bay.
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
Now small fowls flew screaming over the yet yawning gulf a sullen white surf beat against its steep sides then all collapsed and the great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago.
Moby
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.
Moby
I'm like a monk with a taste for hookers.
Moby
A great song is a great song, whether it's on vinyl or CD or cassette or reel to reel or mp3. Then again, that might be an overly optimistic view, but I do think that great music will transcend the medium in which it is delivered.
Moby
I made a record in 1996 called 'Animal Rights' that was a very difficult, very dark punk-rock record. Of all the records I've made, it's my favorite one. It's also the one that got the worst reviews and sold the worst.
Moby
The moment a career is on a quantitative downswing, your loathsomeness is sort of attenuated.
Moby
I did a cover of the James Bond theme, and I felt like such a fraud, because the original is so good.
Moby
As long as the world continues to be strange and interesting, I still want to take pictures of it.
Moby
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.
Moby
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.
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
I know, in my heart of hearts, I don't do things for money.
Moby
My secret is being not terrible at a lot of things.
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
As music became more profitable in the 1990s, it seemed like it attracted a lot of people who were just interested in the financial aspect of it, which is depressing.
Moby
It will be interesting to see what the long term fruits of our national apathy will be, 'cos so far they've been pretty foul.
Moby
