Moby Quotes

One of the main reasons I’m vegan is because I’m ethically lazy. My friends who eat meat or who eat eggs have to sometimes wrestle with the ethical consequences of their actions. By being vegan, I take the easy way out Picture Quote #1

A few years ago, before I stopped drinking, I was feeling very sorry for myself and very drunk, and I Googled ‘Moby Sucks’. In less than one second something like 20 million responses came up... yeah, there has been a lot of loathing directed towards me, and it used to drive me crazy Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Since I stopped drinking my love life has taken a really serious hit. Romantic encounters that seemed like a really good idea at three o’clock in the morning on the Lower East Side? Less so in sobriety Picture Quote #1

When I saw music as a means to an end - more fame, more money, dating celebrities - that’s when things have gone terribly wrong. Now my life is focused on just trying to keep making music. Because when it’s really good, it’s just the most remarkable feeling on the planet Picture Quote #1

There’s not a lot of precedent for weird, bald musicians in the Lower East Side making records in their bedrooms and going on to sell a lot of copies of the record. Especially if you look at the pop climate Picture Quote #1

If you look at the history of popular music, the most successful musicians have started out being really marginal and esoteric. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Madonna. Prince. Bruce Springsteen. Fleetwood Mac. David Bowie. Public Enemy. Nirvana Picture Quote #1

The idea of feeling old is much more the worry of a slightly younger person. When you are getting old, that becomes - psssh - completely secondary to the absolute understanding of how short your life is Picture Quote #1

What fascinates me about addiction and obsessive behavior is that people would choose an altered state of consciousness that’s toxic and ostensibly destroys most aspects of your normal life, because for a brief moment you feel okay Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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? Picture Quote #1

So in 1987 I gave up all animal products and became a vegan. Simply so that I could eat and live in accordance with my beliefs that animals have their own lives, that they’re entitled to their own lives and that contributing to animal suffering is something that I don’t want to be a part of Picture Quote #1

I’ve dated attractive people and I don’t find a correlation between amorous enthusiasm and beauty and public figure status Picture Quote #1

When public figures think they can open a business even though they’ve got no business experience, it’s a bad idea Picture Quote #1

Music can always serve a role in people’s lives when it’s emotional and warm and inviting and beautiful Picture Quote #1

By being vulnerable, either with yourself or in the presence of another person, that’s where all growth and ultimate well-being comes from Picture Quote #1

One of the problems with being relatively conscious and human is that you want to help everybody Picture Quote #1

When famous people are nice to me, it feels good, so I’m happy to hang out with them. It’s better than being at home, depressed, reading ‘The Hobbit.’ Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think that growing up very poor in a very wealthy town gave me a sense of being an outsider, and I hated it when I was growing up Picture Quote #1

I’m offended by the is-ought fallacy, which has been used to justify slavery, women not being allowed to vote, children working in factories Picture Quote #1

Britney [Spears]’s actually kind of like a broken-down shell of a human being, that’s what makes her so endearing and compelling Picture Quote #1

For better or worse, I’m interested in just about everything: every different type of music I can imagine. I can never see a reason to choose just one type of music at the exclusion of everything else. Different types of music are capable of being rewarding in different kinds of ways Picture Quote #1

One of the reasons why fundamentalists are so aggressive in trying to promote fundamentalism is because deep down they know it’s arbitrary. If you’re comfortable with your belief you don’t need to convince other people to agree with you Picture Quote #1

I taught Bible Study, and there was period where I thought all of my beliefs were right, and everybody who disagreed with me was wrong Picture Quote #1

Musically, New York is a big influence on me. Walk down the street for five minutes and you’ll hear homeless punk rockers, people playing Caribbean music and reggae, sacred Islamic music and Latino music, so many different types of music Picture Quote #1

The truth is that genetics has robbed me of hair. But it’s not interesting to blame genetics Picture Quote #1

If someone is cynical and doesn’t vote and ends up with a crummy job in a crummy country with a decimated environment, they only have themselves to blame Picture Quote #1

Shaving your head is acceptable. It’s when you start wearing toupees and brushing your hair over that things go wrong Picture Quote #1
