I'm always looking forward to what I'm doing now, and what's ahead.
Paul Weller

There have been records I've been really, really pleased with that haven't connected with people. But I felt good about them.

In the early-'60s, when you look at that period of time - up to the mod time - when everybody was wearing skinnier suits and skinny lapels and skinny ties - that came out of the States, and that was quite cool.
Paul Weller
Image
Ageism or whatever you want to call it, is a very English phenomenon. You don't get it too much in many other cultures. And no one says it about authors or poets or filmmakers. Oh, they're too old to make films or write books. You know what I mean?
Paul Weller

The Beatles changed the world. They certainly changed my world, and many, many other individuals as well.
Paul Weller

In my world [of fashion] there's more things that kind of affect it. There's the retailers we do business with, our own stores, my merchandising team... Everybody has opinions, and so you definitely have to filter through a lot.

If you're making music, you must want to turn other people on to it, whether you're number one in the charts or number 60.

I think part of what we do is there is a bit of dandy influence, always, or a little sprinkle of it. Not literal Savile Row dandy, but there's a bit of sartorial dandiness in everything that we do - every collection that we do.
Paul Weller
Image
If you're into a certain band, you're into the way they dress.
Paul Weller
Image
You can listen to music at any moment in the day or night. Which is great, but I think it kind of devalues it as well.
Paul Weller
Image
Even somebody like The Black Keys or Royal Blood, they all have this original roots base to what they do.
Paul Weller
Image
I think the world is really small today, and fashion, from that end of it, it's instantaneous everywhere.
Paul Weller
Image
There are so many artists who get to my age that get comfortable and just stick in a groove, and I really don't want to do that.
Paul Weller
Image
When I'm dead I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.
Paul Weller
Image
I look for that stimulation constantly. I'm looking for inspiration and stimulation. Not bored with what we've done.
Paul Weller
Image
The '40s were quite austere and super glamorous.
Paul Weller
Image
I think anybody goes through a crisis of confidence from time to time. You have to kind of doubt yourself, sometimes. It's the way forward.
Paul Weller
Image
No man should have cowboys boots in his wardrobe. That's fair enough, isn't it? Unless you're a cowboy, of course.

I've not had Botox, no.
