"First of all I make songs for myself because that is my prime target to please. I've got to please myself because I don't feel that I am that different to most people. I expect that most people would like and understand what I do. That is what I hope. Most of the songs I write are songs that I would like to hear if other people did them, but they don't, so I've got to do it. That is the whole idea. That is why I started making music in the first place, because there were lots of things that I wanted to hear but I couldn't, so I started making them. As for what I would like to be, what I would like to be is just invisible for people. I think that is the ideal because I think that the song is the important thing and I am not really bothered by my personality intruding in that. I just want to ideally let people have some kind of emotional experience, even just a pleasant listening for five minutes or be put into a slightly different frame of mind as the result of the song because I think that is why people want to listen to music anyway. They want to slightly adjust their mood and songs are a beautiful means of doing that. All of my favorite songs do that to me and I would hope that I could do that." - John Foxx
