Quote

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.

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.

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

If we get through for two minutes only it will be a start!

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.

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.

It's just something internal that says, 'I've got to do this now. This is what I'm doing now.'
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.

Even somebody like The Black Keys or Royal Blood, they all have this original roots base to what they do.
Paul Weller
Image
There have been records I've been really, really pleased with that haven't connected with people. But I felt good about them.

I only put an album out every two or three years.

It's a global fashion thing because of the Internet it has gotten really small. It's cluttered, but it's gotten small.

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

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
Image
I think anybody goes through a crisis of confidence from time to time. You have to kind of doubt yourself, sometimes. It's the way forward.
Paul Weller
Image
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.
Paul Weller
Image
I'm always looking forward to what I'm doing now, and what's ahead.
Paul Weller
Image
I never get too many problems. You can never please everyone anyway, obviously. And some people take the easy route and just play the greatest hits, and their audience is happy to hear that as well, and that's fine, but it wouldn't please me. But it doesn't trouble me.

When I'm dead I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.

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.
