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.

More quotes by Moby
I don't think I'm a particularly good writer, and I'm not terribly insightful.
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
You have climate change and antibiotic resistance which are two of the biggest horses of the apocalypse, and they're basically breathing on our necks, and there's no political will or effort being expended to deal with them.
Moby
Basically we should stop doing those things that are destructive to the environment, other creatures, and ourselves and figure out new ways of existing.
Moby
I know, in my heart of hearts, I don't do things for money.
Moby
For me my biggest inspiration is trying to make music that effects me as much as the music made by my heroes.
Moby
The moment a career is on a quantitative downswing, your loathsomeness is sort of attenuated.
Moby
Music is just air moving around.
Moby
So in 1987 I gave up all animal products and became a vegan. Simply so that I could eat and live in accordance with my beliefs that animals have their own lives, that they're entitled to their own lives and that contributing to animal suffering is something that I don't want to be a part of.
Moby
There's really no reason for any musician, writer, actor to ever take themselves seriously. If you work in a needle exchange, take yourself seriously. You're doing good work. If you're involved in hostage negotiations and saving lives, you can have a sense of entitlement.
Moby
If I were to be really petulant, I would say New York is the one doing the betraying. Because the New York I fell in love with doesn't really exist anymore.
Moby
I feel that one of the reasons Brexit happened was that people stayed at home rather than going to the polls.
Moby
As time passes and the more advanced science becomes, the more interesting it becomes.
Moby
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.
Moby
I've been an animal rights activist and a vegan for 28 years. The entire time, I've asked myself: How do I best advance an animal rights agenda?
Moby
Ketamine's such a waste of time drug. All you do when you're on ketamine is go: 'Oh, I'm on drugs. I don't feel good, I don't feel bad, I'm just on drugs...'
Moby
Dogs have boundless enthusiasm but no sense of shame. I should have a dog as a life coach.
Moby
We hope that as a species we're capable of dealing with environmental catastrophe before it actually does collectively kill most of us.
Moby
Let peace and beauty reign.
Moby
When I tour I'm going to countries to play music for people. My presence in a country is not an endorsement or a condemnation of that country's policies. My presence in a country is an effort to connect with people through playing music.
