The first thing I bought that was really stylish was in 1969 when I was eleven. I saved up for a black, grey and white tie-dye grandad vest. It was too big - they weren't catering for kids my age - and hung off me, but I loved it.

More quotes by 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.
Paul Weller
I don't like the royal family, I don't like the establishment, I don't like the civil service.
Paul Weller
I really enjoy playing America. I like the audiences there. It's the home of a lot of music I grew up with.
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
The Jam were a good band, however I feel that the Style Council were better. A lot of people I know will disagree with me. Some things we did with The Style Council were misinterpreted or over their heads.
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
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
If we get through for two minutes only it will be a start!
Paul Weller
The '40s were quite austere and super glamorous.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
I've not had Botox, no.
Paul Weller
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
It's just something internal that says, 'I've got to do this now. This is what I'm doing now.'
Paul Weller
You can't live a lie. You have to follow your heart.
Paul Weller
