Shaving your head is acceptable. It's when you start wearing toupees and brushing your hair over that things go wrong.
Quote by -Moby
We do all, myself included, we tend to hold ourselves to pretty low standards. But when it comes to judging public figures or politicians or people we've never met, we tend to hold people to very high standards, and, if we held ourselves to those standards, we'd always fall short.
Quote by -Moby
I live in New York and I love hanging out in gay clubs, and a lot of my friends are gay. But, for better or for worse, I'm not gay.
Quote by -Moby
I don't have children, but I imagine if parents are really pushed on the subject, they probably have favorite children.
Quote by -Moby
Punishing people for listening to music is exactly the wrong way to protect the music business.
Quote by -Moby
I find myself for whatever reason unable to live in the apartment I renovate and have to sell.
Quote by -Moby
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.
Quote by -Moby
I'd much rather go to a Banksy art show than a Moby art show. My art is painfully naive.
Quote by -Moby
You could spend every waking moment online and still only experience one-trillionth of what's out there. I find that a little overwhelming.
Quote by -Moby
But on a utilitarian level, I realize that to try to accomplish the greatest good for the greatest number of people, sometimes we have to become salesmen for what we believe, and part of being a salesman is being effective.
Quote by -Moby
I was never encouraged to believe anything. I was brought up in a profoundly agnostic or pantheistic community.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Moby
I thought that my life would be spent working in a bookstore, teaching community college, and making music in my spare time that no one would be willing to listen to.
Quote by -Moby
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.
Quote by -Moby
If you make a record, you should ask yourself, 'Did it make someone cry, in a good way, not a bad way?' There should almost be subjective emotional criteria for evaluating work, instead of just profitability.
Quote by -Moby
'Arbitrary' and 'odd' are the words which best describe the pattern of my career. I'm perpetually baffled by the whole thing.
Quote by -Moby
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.
Quote by -Moby
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.
Quote by -Moby
For me, New York still ranks as the most beautiful and the most interesting city in the world. It is also the most varied in terms of the things it has to offer.
Quote by -Moby
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.
Quote by -Moby
Being a vegan is pretty easy these days, as almost every town and city has health food stores and vegetarian-friendly restaurants.
Quote by -Moby
The only sort of descriptive adjective or catch phrase for my music would be 'eclectic.'
Quote by -Moby
A lot of people do talk about the demise of the album, but I still believe that if an artist tries hard to make a great album, people will buy it and listen to it as an album, rather than just a collection of random songs.
Quote by -Moby
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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Moby
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.
Quote by -Moby
There is nothing terribly wrong with my face, even if some of its parts aren't very inspiring.
Quote by -Moby
Somehow, magically, I've become an electronic musician, and I have a recording studio that looks like the bridge of the Enterprise.
Quote by -Moby
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.
Quote by -Moby
When playing big festivals, I tend to play big, over the top techno tracks, like hands in the air songs that make sense being played in front of 30,000 people. I steer away from subtlety in the interests of big bombastic dance music.
Quote by -Moby
No one drives in Manhattan - in fact, many of the folks who live in Manhattan don't even have driving licenses!
Quote by -Moby
New York is such a competitive place; it tears people apart. People come here and, if they can't make it in the first month, they get torn apart and they have to go back to where they came from. I don't think that's terribly healthy.
Quote by -Moby
The average life expectancy of a celebrity is 20 years less than someone working in a coal mine.
Quote by -Moby
More often than not, whenever gossip has been written about me, the gossip is more interesting than the reality. I know some public figures hate gossip, but personally I like it because it makes my life sound more glamorous and interesting than it really is.
Quote by -Moby
Growing up in Connecticut, all the Colonial houses looked alike. In Los Angeles, the diversity is so extreme, it's baffling.
Quote by -Moby
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.
Quote by -Moby
One of the nice things about licensing music to movies or advertisements is you can reach a lot of people who normally wouldn't hear music.
Quote by -Moby
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.
Quote by -Moby
I've made records that everyone has hated and I've loved, and made records that everyone has loved and I've deemed, at best, mediocre.
