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.

It's always good to play New York. The Apollo is a great gig. I loved that.
Paul Weller
Image
I love the Kinks, but I like all sorts of music. If I stay at home at night and play records, I just go through the whole spectrum, really. I just love music.
Paul Weller
Image
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.

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.

People say that if you're still angry at 52, you're not an angry young man, just a grumpy old git.
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.

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.
Paul Weller

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

I don't like the royal family, I don't like the establishment, I don't like the civil service.
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

You can't live a lie. You have to follow your heart.
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

Sometimes you're ahead of the game and sometimes people don't get it and that's just one of those things you have to accept and carry on.

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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.
