Have I dated a supermodel? Of course not. I'd look ridiculous.

Moby

In a perfect world, I would be 6-foot-3 and have a perfect head of hair and look like Orlando Bloom.

Moby

Growing up in Connecticut, all the Colonial houses looked alike. In Los Angeles, the diversity is so extreme, it's baffling.

Moby

I'm envious of people who can sleep as long as they want. I have the circadian rhythm of a farmer.

Moby

I'm like a monk with a taste for hookers.

Moby

Somehow, magically, I've become an electronic musician, and I have a recording studio that looks like the bridge of the Enterprise.

Moby

Actually, the most entitled people I've met are indie rockers and indie actors, because they really believe their press.

Moby

Shaving your head is acceptable. It's when you start wearing toupees and brushing your hair over that things go wrong.

Moby

Moby

I don't think there's anything wrong with not knowing how to play an instrument, but the rise of the non-musical producer has done away with musicianship and focused attention purely on the song's hook.

Moby

I joined Facebook purely so I could play online Scrabble. You have eight tiles instead of seven, so you tend to have higher scores. I'm somewhere between 400 and 500.
