Moby frasi celebri

“Ho lavorato molto su me stesso. Ho messo in pratica una delle cose più sagge che mi siano mai state dette: migliora quello che funziona ed evita quello che non va.”

Moby

“In America le persone sono ossessionate. A Los Angeles vivono vecchi attori che sono alcolizzati, inseguono il mito della giovinezza con la chirurgia plastica, divorziano. La fama è come il fuoco: ti può anche bruciare. Molti sarebbero ancora vivi se non fossero stati delle celebrità.”

Moby

“L'uomo negli ultimi 5000 anni ha conquistato il mondo e nessuno lo può fermare. Certo, l'uomo sopravviverà ma credo che in 75 anni ci saranno milioni di rifugiati per il cambiamento climatico, molte città saranno sott'acqua o devastate da uragani e le foreste si trasformeranno in deserti. Non lo so se siamo in tempo per fermare un processo che sta andando avanti da secoli ormai.”

Moby

“Sa qual è la cosa strana? Ho cominciato a suonare quando avevo 13 anni, la mia formazione è classica, ma ho anche suonato la batteria in una rock band punk, con un certo successo. La mia presenza nella scena dance l'ho sempre considerata marginale.”

“Oh, e sta piovendo | piovendo ancora.”

“Spesso mi domandano perché sono vegan. Ecco le mie ragioni. 1) Amo gli animali e una dieta vegan causa molto meno sofferenza di una dieta basata sui prodotti animali. 2) Gli animali sono creature senzienti con una volontà propria e mi sembra sbagliato imporgli la nostra solo perché possiamo farlo. 3) Un gran numero di studi medici dimostra che una dieta basata sui prodotti animali è terribile per la salute […]. 4) La dieta vegan è di gran lunga più redditizia. Si possono nutrire molte più persone direttamente con i cereali piuttosto che nutrire le mucche con i cereali per poi ucciderle. In un mondo dove le persone muoiono di fame mi sembra criminale nutrire mucche con cereali che potrebbero tenere in vita degli esseri umani. 5) Gli allevamenti sono disastrosi per l'ambiente. Tutti i rifiuti che producono si riversano nelle acque […].”

"oil industry", journal entry (21 January 2003) at moby.com http://www.moby.com/journal/2003-01-21/oil_industry.html

“I got a phone call from Ricky Martin's management asking me if I'd like to do something with him in Florida around the winter music conference. My answer is as follows: 'I would consider doing something with Ricky Martin if and only if he publicly apologizes for performing at George W's inauguration and if he confirms that when he danced next to George W. Bush at the inauguration he could smell brimstone and that George W. Bush is in fact the spawn of Satan. So if Ricky Martin goes on national television to confirm that George W. is the spawn of Satan then I will perform with him. Otherwise no deal. And only if we can do a cover of 'In a Gadda-da-vida', but The Simpsons version, 'In the garden of Eden' (to which reverend Lovejoy responds ""that sounds like rock and or roll""). And, by the way, I'm a pretty easygoing young-ish person, so if you ever see me walking down the street just stop me and say hello. We're all in the same boat, right? of course you'll have to make it past my phalanx of security guards who are all ex-NFL linebackers, and the cadre of dobermans, and the perma-moat that I wear that's filled with electric eels and vicious sea monkeys. So if you see me just come and say hi. I'm normal.”

"?", journal entry (20 January 2003) at moby.com http://www.moby.com/journal/2003-01-20/.html

“I'm actually kind of impressed by Iraq's patience right now… I mean, look at it objectively. They've opened their doors to un inspectors, they're being bombed by british and american troops, american forces are massing at their borders, american diplomats are actively looking to assinate [sic] Saddam Hussein, etc. It almost seems like Bush is doing everything he can to taunt Saddam Hussein. Not just if you step over this line I will hit you, but if you step over this line while I put rats on your back and put butter on the floor and make fun of your mom and move the line then I will hit you, in fact I'll hit you even if you just stand there and do nothing. It's painfully clear that iraq should not be allowed to have weapons of mass destruction. But it also seems painfully clear that the bush administration have no intention of finding a peaceful resolution to the situation in Iraq.”

"troubled times", journal entry (4 January 2003) at moby.com http://www.moby.com/journal/2003-01-04/troubled_times.html

“Mainly the fact that I love animals and don’t want to be involved in anything that causes or contributes to animal suffering. Also, I never really liked meat that much, unless it neither looked [n]or tasted like meat. Like taco filling. But, mainly because I love animals and don’t want them to suffer. Death is unavoidable, suffering is avoidable.”

On what inspired him to go vegan, from an " Ask Me Anything" session on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1x3ol1/i_am_musician_dj_photographer_and_director_moby/; as quoted in "Vegan Veteran Moby Reveals on Reddit Why He Eschews Eating Animals", in Ecorazzi (6 February 2014) http://www.ecorazzi.com/2014/02/06/vegan-veteran-moby-reveals-on-reddit-why-he-eschews-eating-animals/

“For example, you can go on all the pro-life chat rooms and say you're an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that George Bush drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion.Then you go to an anti-immigration website chat room and ask, "What's all this about George Bush proposing amnesty for illegal aliens?"”

“Ozzy Osbourne used to snort ants. Led Zeppelin had sex with hookers on private planes. And I start an on-tour book club. Because one can only snort so many ants and have so much sex before one starts to long for the comfort and companionship of a good book.”
