Moby Quotes

Moby quote from classy quote

Many of my friends back in New York and elsewhere have a glib or dismissive attitude toward Los Angeles. It's a place of strip malls and traffic and not much else, in their opinion.

~ Moby

Moby Friends New York Opinion

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

Moby Change Passion Animal

I met Elton John at an Interview dinner, and we just sort of became friends. He's got such a wicked sense of humor.

~ Moby

Moby Friends Dinner

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

Moby Time People Remember

A part of me wants to sort of try and sound cool and feed this myth that I'm some sort of glamorous lothario, but I was raised by women - my mother and her mother and my aunts - and as a result, most of my friends have always been women.

~ Moby

Moby Friends Women Mother

I have no patience for anyone who thinks they've figured things out, no patience for people who think they're right at the expense of everyone else. The world is too connected and too complicated to conform to any of our rigid ideas of what it should be like.

~ Moby

Moby World Ideas People

A great song is a great song, whether it's on vinyl or CD or cassette or reel to reel or mp3. Then again, that might be an overly optimistic view, but I do think that great music will transcend the medium in which it is delivered.

~ Moby

Moby Great Song Think

At the risk of sounding pedestrian, I'll be completely honest: the first thing I do in the morning is check Google News, partially because it seems sort of random and unbiased and partially because I tend to stay in hotels that don't necessarily have the fastest Internet connections.

~ Moby

Moby Risk Internet Connections

If you're inclined to dismiss L.A. as a place of unrelenting vapidity and generic 1980s architecture, then you're doing yourself and L.A. a huge disservice, and you're just not looking hard enough.

~ Moby

Moby Yourself Looking You

Most artists, you know, you spend their entire lives learning how to play music and write songs, and they don't really know how the music business works.

~ Moby

Moby Music Business Know

Being a vegan is pretty easy these days, as almost every town and city has health food stores and vegetarian-friendly restaurants.

~ Moby

Moby Health City Easy

I may be a lifelong 'downtowner,' but Central Park really is the most amazing and the most beautiful part of New York City.

~ Moby

Moby Beautiful City

I'm obsessed with politics, and I talk about it any chance I can get. I have strong opinions about how the world should be run.

~ Moby

Moby Strong Politics World

I think a lot of self-importance is a product of fear. And fear, living in sort of an un-self-examined fear-based life, tends to lead to narcissism and self-importance.

~ Moby

Moby Life Living Think

Mainly I'm a vegan because I like animals, and I don't want to be involved in their suffering. Also, it's better for my health and for the environment.

~ Moby

Moby Suffering Animals

I don't sleep very well when I travel. And as a result, I tend to be awake in cities when everyone else is asleep.

~ Moby

Moby Sleep Well Awake

When I was growing up, albums were my closest friends, as sad as that may sound - Joy Division's 'Closer,' or Echo and the Bunnymen's 'Heaven Up Here'... I had a more intimate relationship with those records than I did with most of the people in my life.

~ Moby

Moby Life Relationship Friends

For years, my mom dated a man who was really active in the Baptist church in the town next to the town I grew up in, and so he used to drag me to these Baptist church services that lasted forever. I remember that I didn't like the church services, but I really liked the music.

~ Moby

Moby Music Man Me

I believe that the role of limited government should be looking after the needs of veterans, the elderly, children and those institutions that improve the quality of life for struggling families - I don't believe that government should bend to serve the needs of subsidized multi-national corporations and entitled billionaires.

~ Moby

Moby Life Children Believe

I'd much rather go out and have music randomly presented to me by different DJs than stay home and discover it on my own.

~ Moby

Moby Music Me My Own

The good thing about working alone is I get a lot done and I can experiment more. The bad thing is I miss out on the gregarious, social way that most musicians work.

~ Moby

Moby Work Good Musicians
