Sometimes, Moby envies musicians who seem aloof and mysterious, like Radiohead singer Thom Yorke, who disappears from public view for extended periods of time, then reappears to widespread adoration, prized even more for being gone. “How do I learn how to do that?,” he wonders. But he’s realized that elusiveness isn’t possible for a highly sociable person who gives candid interviews about his life and struggles. “You can’t be reclusive and esoteric, but also go out seven nights a week and talk to everybody,” he says with a laugh.
