More quotes by Moby
Can't do any work with a rock star you have to go through their lawyers and their agents and their managers and you have to book them hotel rooms. When you work with your friends, you just call them up and they come over and you record and then you go out to see a movie.
Moby
You can't find an uglier urban environment than the centre of Hollywood, but then you go to Griffith Park, you go to the beach, you go to the mountains, and it's rural. I live up in the Hollywood Hills and I have frogs, owls, coyotes, mountain lions - but I'm ten minutes from the centre of the city.
Moby
The moment a career is on a quantitative downswing, your loathsomeness is sort of attenuated.
Moby
I read the New Testament, specifically the gospels and I was struck at their divinity, feeling that humans could not have figured this out on their own. We're just not bright enough.
Moby
Some of the songs I've made, I'm really disappointed in how I mixed them.
Moby
For better or worse, I'm interested in just about everything: every different type of music I can imagine. I can never see a reason to choose just one type of music at the exclusion of everything else. Different types of music are capable of being rewarding in different kinds of ways.
Moby
The aggressive, energised, political, or even politicised, culturally aware music hasn't really existed [recently].
Moby
One problem with a lot of musicians is that they remove themselves in a studio and make a record and assume people are going to pay attention to it just because they've made it.
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
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 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 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.
Moby
A vegan who beats his wife is far further down the ethical ladder than a meat eater who's kind to his children.
Moby
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.
Moby
Whenever I've had success, I never learn from it. Success usually breeds a degree of hubris. When you fail, that's when you learn.
Moby
The idea of feeling old is much more the worry of a slightly younger person. When you are getting old, that becomes - psssh - completely secondary to the absolute understanding of how short your life is.
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
The truth is that genetics has robbed me of hair. But it's not interesting to blame genetics.
Moby
My secret is being not terrible at a lot of things.
Moby
The way I work on music is that I go into my studio, and I start playing music, and I see what happens, and... I never think about it.
Moby
