When I was a drunk, New York was the greatest place in the world. You walk everywhere, everything is open until four in the morning, and people go to New York looking for debauchery.

I spent so much of my life reading about spirituality and reading about neuroscience and trying different meditation practices. It's a really big part of my life. But it's sometimes hard to talk about. There are so many people in the world who don't live in Southern California and don't spend their time meditating.

My biggest concern is trying to keep crazy Republicans out of office.

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

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.

Oftentimes things that seem really difficult and traumatic in the short term seem a lot less difficult and traumatic in the long term.

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

The world is too big and too intricate to conform to our ideas of what it should be like... Just because we invent myths and theories to explain away the chaos we're still going to live in a world that's older and more complicated than we'll ever understand.

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.

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

I feel like sometimes we have to be a little less inclusive and tolerant if other people's opinions could lead to the destruction of our species.
Moby

I like the humility that comes from being hated. Hopefully some humility and compassion comes out of that.

To me, one of the easiest ways of addressing climate change and potentially remedying climate change is to stop subsidizing animal agriculture.

These new metal bands are going out, getting drunk and going to strip clubs, and they'll be doing the same in thirty years. There isn't even an interesting self-destructive quality to it . . . it's just dumb.

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

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.

Image
I honestly just love being in my studio working on music. That's all the inspiration I need. And I don't write with an end result in mind, I just write for the simple love of writing.

I feel like once the song is done, you put it out there and if people want to do bizarre remixes, if people want to make strange videos, great. You know, like chaos theory applied to the music business.
Moby
Image
I guess the most emotional part is when I have that moment when I end up writing something that I really, really love. So not only is there the emotional connection with the music that's being created, but there's also the magic of the fact that you're essentially creating something from nothing.

I truly don't judge other people's actions. But I think that factory farming is an abomination.
