I could write songs about politics, but I'm conscious of not writing songs that sound the same as the ones I wrote 30 years ago.

Even somebody like The Black Keys or Royal Blood, they all have this original roots base to what they do.
Paul Weller

I want to hear as much music as I possibly can before I leave this mortal coil but it's impossible to hear it all because there's so much of it.
Paul Weller
Image
I'm so lucky, I'm just really grateful for what I've got around me - children and my wife and everything else.
Paul Weller
Image
I still want to do what I want to do, but we also have to think about some sense of protecting the business that's out there as well.
Paul Weller

I get bored quickly. I kind of take my hat off to bands who have been around for a long time and still do the same thing, because it's hard to keep a band together for decades. But I couldn't do that. I couldn't play the same songs night after night or just trade on my past glories, because it wouldn't interest me as a person.

I have to do what I'm doing at the time. That's the most important thing. You might lose some people along the way, and you might gain other people on the way, that's just the way it is. But nevertheless, if you're driven by something, there is no argument about it that's what you have to do.

If you take skinny jeans - skinny jeans didn't just happen in the US, they were happening in Japan, they were happening in the UK, they were happening everywhere. Some places a little faster than others. But, if we look at our best sellers in this store, they're the same best sellers that we have in the States.

There's always something in most world folk musics that always seems connected whether it's a bagpipe or a tambura, there's always some sort of drone instrument, and there's always percussion.
Paul Weller
Image
I don't think about what I can't do or what I shouldn't be doing. I just think there are endless possibilities musically, really.

I only put an album out every two or three years.

The '40s were quite austere and super glamorous.
Paul Weller

Coming from a little suburban town, I wasn't a hip city kid. I was quite the opposite, really. Songs like 'Saturday's Kids' rang a bell for kids all over the country. That song was about the kids I grew up with.

No man should have cowboys boots in his wardrobe. That's fair enough, isn't it? Unless you're a cowboy, of course.

In the past we used to come over to see what was going on in London or Paris or Milan or wherever - it's pretty much the same stuff everywhere [now], and people are wearing the same things, because it's all instantaneous with the Internet.

I really enjoy playing America. I like the audiences there. It's the home of a lot of music I grew up with.

I wanted to make a record that sounded like a continous piece

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.
