More quotes by Paul Weller
The Beatles changed the world. They certainly changed my world, and many, many other individuals as well.
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 have to do what I'm doing at the time. That's the most important thing. You might lose some people along the way, and you might gain other people on the way, that's just the way it is. But nevertheless, if you're driven by something, there is no argument about it that's what you have to do.
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
I love soul music, that's my real love in life and in whatever shape or form it is.
Paul Weller
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
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.
Paul Weller
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
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
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 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
There are areas of music that I've never been to before, so that's always nice thing to have in life. That there are other areas you haven't been to. You haven't covered all the ground, and there's plenty more uncharted territory to cover as well.
Paul Weller
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?
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
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'm always looking forward to what I'm doing now, and what's ahead.
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
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
Pop music was supposed to be a flash in the pan, but here we are 50 years later and it means something to us, and it always will do. It's incredibly important.
Paul Weller
