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.
MobyWe live in this culture where there are so many things that want us to pretend that weโre not truly human. That we can be exempt from the human condition, either through intelligence or accomplishment or success or humor. Bu biologically weโre all the same. We all get sad, we all get happy, and we all die. Anyone who pretends that thatโs not the case is either a sociopath or utterly delusional.
MobyI've dated attractive people and I don't find a correlation between amorous enthusiasm and beauty and public figure status.
MobyI 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.
