I Remember New York In The '80s As A Place With Vacant Lots That Would Eventually Give Over To Nature. Weeds Would Grow Up, Squirrels Would Move In. That Entropy Is Gone Now. It's Too Expensive To Let A Vacant Lot Go Natural.

If I Was A Sex Symbol, I Would Be Getting Laid A Lot More Than I Am Now.

Everyone Feels Awkward, Everyone Feels Uncomfortable, Everyone Gets Older, Everyone Gets Lonely, Everyone Gets Sick, Everyone Eventually Dies. You’re At The Aspen Ideas Fest, And You Have These Really Smart, Really Accomplished People Who Pretend Like They’ve Somehow Figured Out A Way To Bypass The Human Condition. We Live In This Culture Where There Are So Many Things That Want Us To Pretend That We’re Not Truly Human.

I'm Not Catholic But The Virgin Mary Fascinates Me Because She's Like A Folk Hero.

I Like To Quote Homer Simpson: 'i'm Like A Chocoholic Except For Alcohol.' I Come From A Long Line Of Alcoholics. It's Funny Because When I First Started Making Records, I Was At The Tail End Of A Period Of Sobriety, So I Somehow Got This Reputation As Captain Sober.

We Need To Finally Accept That All Sentient Creatures Are Deserving Of Basic Rights. I Define Basic Rights As This -the Ability To Pursue Life Without Having Someone Else's Will Involuntarily Forced Upon You.

I'd Rather Be Around Broken People Who Have A Degree Of Humility, And Just Get On With Their Work.

I Was In Bar About 15 Years Ago, A Relationship Had Ended Badly, I Was Very Drunk And I Thought I Would Convince Myself To Try And Be Gay. Like, At One Point I Didn't Like Coffee, Then I Learned To Like It.

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.

For Me The Two Biggest Issues Are Climate Change And Animal Welfare/animal Agriculture. And Oddly Enough Animal Agriculture Is Such A Contributor To Climate Change. According To The United Nations, 25% Of Climate Change Comes From Animal Agriculture, So Every Car, Bus, Boat, Truck, Airplane Combined Has Less Co2 And Methane Emissions Than Animal Agriculture.

In The Past I've Had Public Feuds With People, And I Have Really Not Benefited From Any Of Them. The Feud With Eminem Did Kind Of Torpedo My Career In The United States, But It Also Introduced Me To Middle America In A Way I Never Could Have Conceived Of.

I Used To Have A Lot Of Envy For Those Musicians Who Have Been Universally Loved.

All Human Belief Systems Are Inherently Flawed.

The Demise Of The Monolithic Record Industry Has Been, For A Lot Of People, Really Liberating And Emancipating.

I Don't Think Too Much About How It Might Exist In The World In A Commercial Sense - I More Just Try And Focus On Making Music That I Love And Trying To Put It Out Into The World.

It's Much Easier To Have A Diversified Career As An Electronic Musician Than It Is As A Drummer. Nothing Against Drummers. If You're A Drummer, You Just Wait Around For People To Ask You To Play Drums. But If You Have Your Own Studio And Can Make Music, You Have The Ability To Approach Music A Lot Differently.

Music Can Always Serve A Role In People's Lives When It's Emotional And Warm And Inviting And Beautiful.

Over Time, I Started Becoming More Aware Of The Vastness And Complexity Of The Universe, Which Led Me Away From Any Sort Of Conventional Christianity. I Still Love The Teachings Of Christ, But I Also Believe That The Human Condition Prevents Us From Having Any True Objective Knowledge Of The Universe. All Human Belief Systems Are Inherently Flawed. If I Had To Label Myself Now, I'd Call Myself A Taoist-christian-agnostic Quantum Mechanic. Also, There's Nothing In The Actual Bible That Limits A Christian In Their Interest In Science. Anti-science Is A Function Of Ignorant Fundamentalism.

People Love Their Favorite Records. And I Aspire To Make A Record Someone Might Be Able To Love In That Way.

I Believe That To Knowingly Commit Actions That Cause Or Condone Suffering Is Reprehensible In The Extreme. I Call Upon You To Be Compassionate And Treat Others As You Want To Be Treated. If You Don't Want To Be Beaten, Imprisoned, Mutilated, Killed Or Tortured Then You Shouldn't Condone Such Behavior Towards Anyone, Be They Human Or Not.

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.

It Will Be Interesting To See What The Long Term Fruits Of Our National Apathy Will Be, 'cos So Far They've Been Pretty Foul.

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.

I Always Feel Kind Of Absurd And Presumptuous Presenting A Speech.

One Of The Central Flaws In The State Of Contemporary Music Is That The Major Record Companies Have Failed To Incorporate That Simple Fact Into Their Business Plans. They've Come Into An Industry That's Based On Idiosyncratic Artists And Tried To Erase Every Idiosyncratic Aspect Out Of It.

As Far As I'm Concerned, The Whole Point Of Making Music Is To Get It Heard By As Many People As Possible.

Nasa Is An Utterly Fascinating Place, And The Fact That The Buildings Look So Anonymous Almost Make It More Fascinating. You Walk By A Generic Office-park-looking Building, And You Have No Idea What's Going On Inside.

I Buy Things With The Best Of Intention Of Living In Them And Then Life Intercedes.

I Find The Fact That So Few People Buy Albums To Be Strangely Emancipating. There's Absolutely No Reason For 99% Of Musicians Making Albums To Think About Actually Selling Albums. So As A Musician You Can Just Make An Album For The Love Of Making Albums.

I Have Actually Found Myself Buying Up More And More Old Analogue Gear. I Have This Strange Obsession With Old Drum Machines.

I Think The Word 'blog' Is An Ugly Word. I Just Don't Know Why People Can't Use The Word 'journal.'

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.'

You Can't Find An Uglier Urban Environment Than The Centre Of Hollywood, But Then You Go To Griffith Park, You Go To The Beach, You Go To The Mountains, And It's Rural. I Live Up In The Hollywood Hills And I Have Frogs, Owls, Coyotes, Mountain Lions - But I'm Ten Minutes From The Centre Of The City.

Hollywood Hills

You Know, If You Love Something, You Should Love It Regardless Of Whether It Costs Five Dollars Or 500 Or 5,000 Dollars. Unfortunately, That's Not The Way Our Culture Works, And We Do Collectively Buy Into This Idea That Things That Are More Expensive Probably Have More Value.

The Moment Somebody Becomes Famous, 15 Years Gets Knocked Off Their Life. They're Gonna Get Divorced A Few Times, They're Gonna Be Addicted To Things, They're Gonna Be In Therapy.

As Music Became More Profitable In The 1990s, It Seemed Like It Attracted A Lot Of People Who Were Just Interested In The Financial Aspect Of It, Which Is Depressing.

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.

It's Almost Like A Sign Of Mental Illness To Base Your Self-worth On The Opinions Of Complete Strangers, You Know?

If I Spend 100 Days In A Row Making Music There’s A Chance Nothing Will Come Of It. But If I Spend 100 Days Not Making Music It’s Guaranteed That Nothing Will Come Of It. So Keep Working.

I Love Thich Nhat Hahn. One Of My Favorite Quotes Of His (and I’m Paraphrasing), He’s Talking About Cultivating Happiness, And He Was Saying, At The Very Least, Just Be Happy You’re Not At The Dentist Right Now. He Was Talking To Someone Who Was Having A Really Hard Time Finding Joy.

But At The Same Time, I Don't Let Myself Regret Things To The Point That I'm Paralyzed.

I Stopped Drinking And Realised New York Still Has A Lot Of Charm, But It Has Become So Bourgeois And Affluent - And I Can't Really Complain Because I'm Sort Of Bourgeois And Affluent Myself, But I Like Living In A Place Where Artists And Musicians And Writers Can Actually Pay The Rent.

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.

I Just Have To Remind Myself That My Daily Quotidie In Life Has Almost Nothing To Do With Any Aspect Of My Professional Life As A Public Figure. And I Think A Lot Of People Get To That Point - Specifically, Sort Of Getting Comfortable Looking Out For Yourself And Taking Care Of Yourself And Defining Yourself Based On Healthier Criteria, And Not Criteria That's Established By Complete Strangers That You've Never Met.

I Did A Cover Of The James Bond Theme, And I Felt Like Such A Fraud, Because The Original Is So Good.

How Do I Transform Pain. I Guess The Number One Way In Which I Do That Is By Working On Music, But Also It Can Be Anything From Just Talking About It With Other People Or Doing Kickboxing Or Meditating Or Running Around With Dogs. Or Just Simply Trying To Sit With It And Be Mindful And Be Aware Of It.

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.

But When A Man’s Religion Becomes Really Frantic; When It Is A Positive Torment To Him; And In Fine, Makes This Earth Of Ours An Uncomfortable Inn To Lodge In; Then I Think It High Time To Take That Individual Aside And Argue The Point With Him.

If You Look At The History Of Demagoguery And Fascism, It Always Happens When There Are Two Things. It Requires A Gentle Populace To Allow It To Happen, Whether Through Laziness, Ignorance Or Ineptitude, But It Also Requires A Very Angry, Dissatisfied Section Of The Populace Who Want Egregiously Simple Answers To Very Complicated Problems.

I've Done The Performing Monkey Stuff And Massive Breakdowns, It's Just They Weren't Documented.

Can't Do Any Work With A Rock Star; You Have To Go Through Their Lawyers And Their Agents And Their Managers And You Have To Book Them Hotel Rooms. When You Work With Your Friends, You Just Call Them Up And They Come Over And You Record And Then You Go Out To See A Movie.

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.

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.

The Main Thing That Excites Me And Makes Me Want To Get Out Of Bed Is The Thought Of Being Able To Go Into My Studio To Work On Music.

You Could Spend Every Waking Moment Online And Still Only Experience One-trillionth Of What's Out There. I Find That A Little Overwhelming.

When I Dj At Big Venues I Try To Play Tracks That I Would Want To Hear If I Were E'd Up In A Field With 50,000 Other People.

The Solution Probably Doesn't Look Like The Problem. If We Have This Propensity To Worry, To Be Anxious, To Be Depressed, To Be Angry - Focusing On The Worry, Anxiety, Depression, And Anger? Probably Not Gonna Be The Solution.

If I Were To Be Really Petulant, I Would Say New York Is The One Doing The Betraying. Because The New York I Fell In Love With Doesn't Really Exist Anymore.

For Some Reason New York Is The Epicentre For People Who Hate Me. Maybe This Is Another Reason Why I Left New York But I Get More Hatred Directed Towards Me There Than Any Other Place.

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.

There's A Fairly Extensive Network Of Musicians On Tour Who Are All Trying To Stay Sober, And We Generally Reach Out To Each Other And Offer Support When And Where We Can.

This Isn't Like Naming Your Dog Spot.

Every Time You Read An Interview With A Supermodel, They're Always Like, 'oh, I Was A Such Nerd.' I Resent That A Little Bit. I Was In The A/v Club. I Used To Eat My Lunch In A Closet.

I've Been Making Music For Thirty-six Years And, You Know, I'm Still Just As In Love With Working On Music Now As I Was Thirty-six Years Ago.

Personally I Find The Democratic Chaos Of The Internet Fascinating, And For The Most Part Really Benign.

There Is A Dysfunctional Strangeness To Los Angeles That Doesn't Exist In Any Other Western City. The Roads Are Crumbling, No-one Knows What They're Doing, The City Government Barely Works.

La Is Such A Crumbling Mess Of A City. Basically In All My Years Of Travelling, I Haven't Found Another City In The Western World That Interest Me As Much As Los Angeles - Which Might Sound Like Heresy, But Most Cities, History Has Already Happened And The People Living There Are Sort Of Living On The Bones Of The Thousand Years Of History That's Already Happened There. Whereas La Is Always Reinventing Itself.

I Know It's Simple, But My Main Inspiration Is Just My Love Of Music. I Know That Sounds Overly Naive. But It's True.

That’s Why I Make Music. When I Listen To My Favorite Music Made By Other People, That’s What It Does To Me. So As A Musician, I’m Just Trying To Do The Same Thing With Music I Make. Sometimes It Works, Sometimes It Doesn’t. But When Someone Comes To Me And Says The Music I’ve Made Has Affected Them Emotionally, That’s The Most Gratifying Part Of My Job.

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.

Sometimes People Will Think, I Need To Have Pre-sanctioned Spiritual Joy. Getting Joy From My Contemplative Meditation Practice Or Getting Joy From Reading Thich Nhat Hahn Books. Those Things Can Be Joyful But I Think It’s The Small, Simple Joys Of Playing With Dogs Or Having Sex With Someone You Love Or Going For A Walk Outside, Stuff That We Tend To Ignore.

Look Not Too Long In The Face Of The Fire, O Man! Never Dream With Thy Hand On The Helm! Turn Not Thy Back To The Compass; Accept The First Hint Of The Hitching Tiller; Believe Not The Artificial Fire, When Its Redness Makes All Things Look Ghastly. To-morrow, In The Natural Sun, The Skies Will Be Bright; Those Who Glared Like Devils In The Forking Flames, The Morn Will Show In Far Other, At Least Gentler, Relief; The Glorious, Golden, Glad Sun, The Only True Lamp—all Others But Liars!

My Goal Is To Make One-not A Hodgepodge, But Just The Sort Of Record That I Would Want To Listen To.

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.

Congratulations

Up Until The Rise Of Electronic Music, If You Were A Musician In Portugal Or Germany Or Italy Or Japan, And You Didn't Sing In English, You Really Were Limited: You Could Be Successful In The Country Where People Understood Your Language. The World Of Electronic Music Is Completely International. You Have Djs From Finland Making Huge Records For People In New Zealand, Djs In South Korea Making Huge Records For People In France. By The Fact That It Doesn't Cost Anything To Make, And That It Transcends Language, Nation It Accidentally Accomplishes A Lot Of Really Remarkable Things.

I Just Have To Remind Myself That My Daily Quotidie In Life Has Almost Nothing To Do With Any Aspect Of My Professional Life As A Public Figure.

Professional Life

You Make Mistakes And You Learn From Them.

Making Mistakes

My Goal With Everything That I Do Is To Present Things In A Way That I Would Want To See If I Was In The Audience Or Buying The Record.

Lord, I Want To Be Up In My Heart.

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.

I Was Never Encouraged To Believe Anything. I Was Brought Up In A Profoundly Agnostic Or Pantheistic Community.

I've Been Friends With Madonna For Ever. In Fact She Was At My 3rd Solo Performance In 1990, And There Were Only 10 People In The Audience.

Honestly, The Most Vulnerable Part Of My Life Is Probably Just Honest Expression, As Cliché As That Might Sound.

Because I've Been That Drunk Person In The Club So Many Thousands Of Times, When I'm In An Environment Where People Are Drunk Or On Drugs, I Certainly Don't Judge Them. Because It's Almost A Given That For Much Of My Life I've Been Way More Messed Up Than Them.

When I Was Growing Up I Was An Atheist, Then An Agnostic, And Then I Had A Good Eight Or Ten Years Of Being Quite A Serious Christian.

I Found It Incredibly Disheartening That In The Late '90s, Suddenly Pop Culture Became Even More Misogynistic And More Homophobic, And So I Criticized Eminem For Having Lyrics That Were Egregiously Homophobic And Egregiously Misogynistic.

Every Single Day The World Seems Like It Is On The Brink Of Falling Apart. But Then I Look Outside My Window, And Things Look About The Same As They Did A Week Ago. It's Almost A Form Of Cognitive Dissonance.

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.

Maybe It's A Form Of Overcompensation, But Whenever I've Toured, I've Always Needed A Huge Performance Component.

I Like My Coffee Like I Like My Romantic Partners: Cold And Bitter And Prone To Giving Me Anxiety Attacks.

Up Until I Started Working With Him, I Had Thought That Music Was A Nice Thing That I Enjoyed And Liked Making, But It Wasn’t A Serious Healing Modality. What Dr. Sacks Has Proven Is That Music Is Actually A Quantifiable, Profound Healing Modality.

If I'm Walking Down The Street And Someone Stops Me And Says, "oh! A Song That You Wrote Meant A Lot To Me, And I Listened To It After I Went To My Sister's Funeral," That's When It Hits Me.

I Sort Of Use As My Guiding Principle That Show The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin. Whenever Possible, Do The Stupid Thing.

Guiding Principles

All Of Us Little Bald White Guys Wearing Glasses Kind Of Look The Same.

How Wondrous Familiar Is A Fool!

When You Look At The Consequences Of Climate Change, At Rainforest Deforestation, At Antibiotic Resistance, These Are Not Necessarily Political Issues, But Rather Issues That Have The Ability To Threaten Our Species.

A Vegan Who Beats His Wife Is Far Further Down The Ethical Ladder Than A Meat Eater Who's Kind To His Children.

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.

For Me The Most Important Issue Is Climate Change Because It In Some Ways Trumps Every Other Issue. Everything Else We Care About Falls By The Wayside If The Greenland Ice Shelf Falls Into The Sea. And If Suddenly Sea Levels Rise 21 Feet, Everything We Hold Near And Dear Ceases To Exist.

Sometimes I Love The Marriage Of Art And Commerce; I Love Donna Summer; I Like The Rolling Stones.

I’ve Been Making Electronic Music For Twenty Some Odd Years But, Because I Grew Up Playing In Punk Rock Bands, When I Started Touring, I Thought In Order To Be A Viable Touring Musician I Had To Do It With A Band. I Would Dj Or Tour With A Full Rock Band.

Research Performed On Animals Is, By Definition, Scientifically Unsound.

If There Is True Evil In The World - It Is Republican Conservatives.

When I Was Growing Up, All I Wanted To Do Was Fit In, But If You're Perpetually An Outsider, It Gives You A Perspective That Might Have A Little More Objectivity Than People Who Really Feel Connected To Their Social Environment In Which They Grow Up.

When I Listen To Gospel Singers Pouring Their Heart Out To God, It's The Act Of Pouring Their Hearts Out That Interests Me.

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.

I've Experienced Tons Of Failure. I've Been Making Music For 30 Years, And I'd Say Failure And Success Have Happened In Equal Measure.

Success And Failure

Scotland Is One Of My Favourite Places To Perform: It's Really Something Special. Scottish Audiences Are Just So Enthusiastic; Their Approach To Dance Music Just Feels Similar To My Own Somehow.

I Just Want To Try - On A Daily Basis Keep Trying - To Make Music That I Really Love.

Since I Was Really Little, I've Just Always Had An Obsession With, Not Just Science Fiction, But Science And Space. And Also Because As Time Passes And The More Advanced Science Becomes, The More Interesting It Becomes.

Dogs Have Boundless Enthusiasm But No Sense Of Shame. I Should Have A Dog As A Life Coach.

I Honestly Haven't Thought Much About What To Play And Where, Perhaps I Should...it Seems Like Most Musicians Are Better At That Than I Am.

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.

I Think There Are Two Types Of Photographers, Those Who Want To Document The World And Those Who Want To Create Their Own World. I Am More Interested In Documenting The World And Presenting It To People With The Question Attached, 'does This Make Any Sense To You?'

When Britney Shaves Off All Her Hair And Beats Paparazzi With Umbrellas - That's What Celebrities Are Supposed To Do. They're Not Supposed To Be Reasonable, Middle-aged Guys Drinking Organic Tea Talking About Semiotics.

As An American, No One Expected Donald Trump To Ever Be A Serious Candidate For President. I Don't Think He Even Expected To Be A Serious Candidate. He Wanted The Free Media He Would Get.

Actually, The Most Entitled People I've Met Are Indie Rockers And Indie Actors, Because They Really Believe Their Press.

I’ve Never Seen The Need To Choose One Type Of Music At The Exclusion Of Another. That Would Feel Kind Of Sad And Arbitrary.
