Paul Weller
Image
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
Image
I could write songs about politics, but I'm conscious of not writing songs that sound the same as the ones I wrote 30 years ago.
Paul Weller

When I'm dead I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.
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 wanted to make a record that sounded like a continous piece
Paul Weller

There have been records I've been really, really pleased with that haven't connected with people. But I felt good about them.
Paul Weller
