More quotes by Moby
I'm definitely a fan of public humiliation.
Moby
I love nyc. It's the city of my birth and probably the most amazing city on the planet.
Moby
There are so many musicians, friends of mine, who play shows for ten people a night, or always desperately wanted a record contract. So even if every person on the planet loathes me, I have nothing to complain about. My job is not a bad job, so I can't complain.
Moby
I did a cover of the James Bond theme, and I felt like such a fraud, because the original is so good.
Moby
There is nothing terribly wrong with my face, even if some of its parts aren't very inspiring.
Moby
And if we obey God, we must disobey ourselves, and it is in this disobeying ourselves, wherein the hardness of obeying God consists.
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
I don't think of myself as a singer I usually end up singing when I can't find anyone better to sing, or when I'm too lazy to find someone better.
Moby
It seems so antithetical to the teachings of Christ to proclaim your faith in public. I mean, of course you're not supposed to hide your light under a bushel.
Moby
I love to be busy. I'm envious of people who are able to take their spare time and relax. All I like to do is work. Perhaps it's lingering Calvinist guilt?
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
It's a very strange phenomenon being hated by people you've never met. Some journalists just seem to hate me and everything I do, and it's disconcerting because I've never met this person.
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.
Moby
The moment somebody becomes famous, 15 years gets knocked off their life. They're gonna get divorced a few times, they're gonna be addicted to things, they're gonna be in therapy.
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
Call me a nerd if you like, but I do find it hard to leave home without my laptop and a good book.
Moby
There are a lot of public figures who, before they take a stand on a issue, they talk about it with their publicist and they figure out how it's going to affect record sales. Life is really too short to worry about that sort of thing.
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
When I was in my twenties, I thought I was bulletproof.
Moby
Doing interviews and touring are two ways that I can try to bring my music to people. It can be tiring, but it's better than working at Burger King.
Moby
