More quotes by Paul Weller
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
Pop music was supposed to be a flash in the pan, but here we are 50 years later and it means something to us, and it always will do. It's incredibly important.
Paul Weller
If you're into a certain band, you're into the way they dress.
Paul Weller
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
An artist or writer always has to move forward. All the time you're trying to improve yourself, or at least look at ways to improve things or make things better. I'm not really one to harp on previous records. I'm always looking forward to what I'm doing now, and what's ahead.
Paul Weller
I love soul music, that's my real love in life and in whatever shape or form it is.
Paul Weller
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
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.
Paul Weller
I look for that stimulation constantly. I'm looking for inspiration and stimulation. Not bored with what we've done.
Paul Weller
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
In all honesty, I don't know what one song can change.
Paul Weller
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.
Paul Weller
I suppose I was much more serious-minded in the '70s and '80s.
Paul Weller
When you look at so much of what we all love, there's either soul-based to it, or it's the blues. It's really the beginnings of any kind of music. It really is it all starts there. Because after that, it's music of the moment.
Paul Weller
You can't live a lie. You have to follow your heart.
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.
Paul Weller
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
No man should have cowboys boots in his wardrobe. That's fair enough, isn't it? Unless you're a cowboy, of course.
Paul Weller
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
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
