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.

I'm definitely obsessed about artists and the type of music and the playing and the tone and all that kind of thing - I'm not obsessed about what the best Beatles album is. I just think if The Beatles are great, they're great.

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.

I've not had Botox, no.

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

I love soul music, that's my real love in life and in whatever shape or form it is.
Paul Weller
Image
The whole nostalgia thing, and just sticking with what you always liked and what you know and not taking a chance on something or expanding. I think especially after a certain age.
Paul Weller
Image
There's such a wealth of great music, clothes or whatever. There is so much great stuff out there, that why would you not still be interested if you've grown up in that kind of culture?

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.

In my old age, my mind gets more open, and I listen to so many different types of music and I guess that all reflects in my work.

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.

It's always good to play New York. The Apollo is a great gig. I loved that.
Paul Weller

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.
Paul Weller

It's just something internal that says, 'I've got to do this now. This is what I'm doing now.'
Paul Weller
Image
You have to keep challenging yourself. I've always tried to do that, and I'm not saying I've always been successful. Maybe I've rewritten the same song it's inevitable, but I've always been mindful of taking the writing somewhere else. You can't stick in your little comfort zone.

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

In all honesty, I don't know what one song can change.

Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter.

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.

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.

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.
