There is a long and interesting tradition of really marginal left-field music that becomes commercially successful. And I will, for a brief minute, fit into that tradition.
MobyWhen 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.
MobyThe most emotional part is when I go into my studio every day and pretty much never have an idea of what's gonna happen.
MobyThe young have to kill the old. The young, if they want to achieve their own platform, have to diminish the reputations of the ones that have gone before. That's how life works.
MobyI look back and think of all the times I've had to let things go in the past, and how traumatic it seemed while it was happening, but how my understanding of it changed as time passed - and oftentimes things that seem really difficult and traumatic in the short term seem a lot less difficult and traumatic in the long term. So I remind myself of that.
