More quotes by Paul Weller
When I'm dead I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.
Paul Weller
I never, ever wanted to be the Rolling Stones. Bless their hearts, but I dont necessarily want to go on doing the same old thing for the next 10, 20 years... I could see how easy it is to get into that rut, the whole touring mindset.
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
Even somebody like The Black Keys or Royal Blood, they all have this original roots base to what they do.
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
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.
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
It is nice to make a record and people like it, and it's encouraging.
Paul Weller
A lot of young artists and musicians that we work with, you think they're gonna want to come in and buy the rock star-looking leather jacket - whatever it is that you think they're gonna want. They all want a suit. They want a tuxedo jacket, they want a suit. They don't want to look like their dad in it, but they want a suit.
Paul Weller
I've not had Botox, no.
Paul Weller
Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter.
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 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
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.
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
It can get boring. Not the playing the songs necessarily, or doing the clothes. You know, you need stimulus.
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
It's just something internal that says, 'I've got to do this now. This is what I'm doing now.'
Paul Weller
If you're into a certain band, you're into the way they dress.
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
