Moby

“I've never seen 'Friends;' I've never seen 'Seinfeld.' I've heard people reference these things but I've never seen them.”

“In the course of my life, I've made some happy songs but it's the more sort of like pathos-laden, emotional, melancholic music that either I make or that other people make that really resonates with me.”

“That is not all I need. I need dogs. A house filled with dogs and a smart, funny, kind, loving girlfriend or wife.”

“I need an audience way more than an audience needs me.”

“If I was a sex symbol, I would be getting laid a lot more than I am now.”

“If a musician is making a mediocre, self-indulgent body of work, they have to know that, for the most part, people aren't going to be interested.”

“I wish I could sing. I don't technically have a terrible voice, but it's certainly not as good as most of my friends. Whenever I hear myself on a record, it just reminds me I'm not a very good singer.”

“When 'Play' first came out, journalists didn't review it; it didn't get radio play. And then it became this big successful record and, I hate to admit this, I found myself liking the fame. I bought into it.”

“People have always been resistant to change. If you go back to the 17th, 18th century, playing guitar was frowned upon. When rock n' roll first started, no one took it seriously.”

“I truly believe, as an institution, most major labels should just die.”

“I'd much rather go to a Banksy art show than a Moby art show. My art is painfully naive.”

“The good thing about not being drop-dead gorgeous is that as time passes, I don't have much to worry about. I have friends who are actors and every day they look in the mirror with trepidation.”

“As people continue to do more and buy more over the Internet, continue to meet people over the Internet, connection speeds are going to get faster, and the Internet is just going to become an even more integral part of people's lives.”

“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.”

“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.”

“It's enshrined in our Constitution that an individual has a right to release information and disseminate information that makes the powers that be uncomfortable.”

“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.”

“'Arbitrary' and 'odd' are the words which best describe the pattern of my career. I'm perpetually baffled by the whole thing.”

“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.”

“But at the same time, I don't let myself regret things to the point that I'm paralyzed.”
