More quotes by Moby
People don't truly respond to something until they see the direct consequences.
Moby
I won't complain about touring, because I really do believe that a public-figure musician complaining about being a public-figure musician is just absurd. Like, 'Boo hoo hoo! I have to stand on stage and people pay attention to me!'
Moby
Somehow, magically, I've become an electronic musician, and I have a recording studio that looks like the bridge of the Enterprise.
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
It's sometimes too easy to point fingers when circumstances dramatically go awry, but as an addict, I'm ultimately responsible for my own decisions, no matter how benign or tragic the consequences.
Moby
When I was growing up, all I wanted to do was fit in, but if you're perpetually an outsider, it gives you a perspective that might have a little more objectivity than people who really feel connected to their social environment in which they grow up.
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
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
I truly believe, as an institution, most major labels should just die.
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
Call me a nerd if you like, but I do find it hard to leave home without my laptop and a good book.
Moby
I'm gonna have to start walking down the street and start hitting people in the head!
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
When someone comes to me and says the music I've made has affected them emotionally, that's the most gratifying part of my job.
Moby
Once the pathological low self-esteem goes, that's when things go downhill.
Moby
It's much easier to have a diversified career as an electronic musician than it is as a drummer. Nothing against drummers. If you're a drummer, you just wait around for people to ask you to play drums. But if you have your own studio and can make music, you have the ability to approach music a lot differently.
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
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
Whether the Virgin Mary existed, I don't know. But the human need for her to appear in tortilla, that's what inspires my interest.
Moby
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.
Moby
