More quotes by Moby
When you say 'failure,' that seems really dramatic, but a lot of failure is just really depressing and mundane. I remember the first time I ever played a concert in Italy. I played a venue that held 900 people, and I think five people showed up. It wasn't a big, 'John Carter of Mars' type failure. It wasn't dramatic it was just depressing.
Moby
The moment a career is on a quantitative downswing, your loathsomeness is sort of attenuated.
Moby
Sacha Baron Cohen is one of my heroes.
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
My goal is to make one-not a hodgepodge, but just the sort of record that I would want to listen to.
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
It's better to sail with a moody good captain than a laughing bad one.
Moby
I've been an animal rights activist and a vegan for 28 years. The entire time, I've asked myself: How do I best advance an animal rights agenda?
Moby
I'm a weird, bald musician who makes records in his bedroom and lives in the Lower East Side.
Moby
There are a lot of people in the animal rights movement who can be very passionate and aggressive, and I applaud people's passion, but when people are judgmental and aggressive, all you end up doing is getting other people to turn away in irritation. To change people's minds, you have to respect the people you're talking to.
Moby
It's heartbreaking that so many hundreds of millions of people around the world are desperate for the right to vote, but here in America people stay home on election day.
Moby
If Nirvana had remained a small, underground punk rock band, Kurt Cobain would still be alive. And he'd probably be living in Seattle, getting kind of fat and balding, be relatively happy and producing records for other people.
Moby
I have actually found myself buying up more and more old analogue gear. I have this strange obsession with old drum machines.
Moby
The progressive movement needs more crazy and amoral/immoral right-wing politicians and pundits like Tom DeLay and Newt Gingrich and Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity.
Moby
Because I've been that drunk person in the club so many thousands of times, when I'm in an environment where people are drunk or on drugs, I certainly don't judge them. Because it's almost a given that for much of my life I've been way more messed up than them.
Moby
I found it incredibly disheartening that in the late '90s, suddenly pop culture became even more misogynistic and more homophobic, and so I criticized Eminem for having lyrics that were egregiously homophobic and egregiously misogynistic.
Moby
I think the word 'blog' is an ugly word. I just don't know why people can't use the word 'journal.'
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
If you don't want to be beaten, imprisoned, mutilated, killed ot tortured, then you shouldn't condone such behaviour towards anyone, be they human or not.
Moby
The demise of the monolithic record industry has been, for a lot of people, really liberating and emancipating.
Moby
