I saw people around me who were falling deeper and deeper into alcoholism and substance abuse. It's seductive because alcohol is amazing and drugs are amazing, they work so well.

More quotes by Moby
Oftentimes things that seem really difficult and traumatic in the short term seem a lot less difficult and traumatic in the long term.
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
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.
Moby
The truth is that genetics has robbed me of hair. But it's not interesting to blame genetics.
Moby
It's the age old thing: If you want to get elected, blame immigrants. It worked in the 20th century and it works now, and it's heart-breaking to see people make the same mistakes. They're looking at a complicated world, but they just keep blaming immigrants, and it's really disturbing that people haven't got past that.
Moby
The moment that you impose your will on another person or animal, that's when we are allowed to say you have committed an ethical breach.
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
Maybe it's a form of overcompensation, but whenever I've toured, I've always needed a huge performance component.
Moby
Musicians, actors, writers - we're all neurotic, odd people who've lucked into accidental careers. So I just don't like being around public figures with that sense of entitlement, it just seems unhealthy, and it strips so much potential for them to develop as a human being.
Moby
Call me a nerd if you like, but I do find it hard to leave home without my laptop and a good book.
Moby
When I do have time to work on music, I'm kind of selfish, and would rather work on my own stuff than someone else's.
Moby
The average life expectancy of a celebrity is 20 years less than someone working in a coal mine.
Moby
I buy things with the best of intention of living in them and then life intercedes.
Moby
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
One of the main reasons I'm vegan is because I'm ethically lazy. My friends who eat meat or who eat eggs have to sometimes wrestle with the ethical consequences of their actions. By being vegan, I take the easy way out.
Moby
I'm like a bad musical cliche because I bring my guitar on the road and try to write songs in hotel rooms.
Moby
It just seems like musicians want to sell a few records and put out a perfume line, and I think it's so sad that there are so many musicians who don't want to change the world.
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.
Moby
The young have to kill the old. The young, if they want to achieve their own platform, have to diminish the reputations of the ones that have gone before. That's how life works.
Moby
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.
Moby
