Quote

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.

I suppose I was much more serious-minded in the '70s and '80s.
Paul Weller

I think the world is really small today, and fashion, from that end of it, it's instantaneous everywhere.
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
Image
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

I saw an interview with Keith Richards. He said, 'How else could a kid in Dartford suddenly connect with and understand what Muddy Waters is singing?' There's a cultural difference, but there's just something in that music that subconsciously or internally you just understand it just makes sense.

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.

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.

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
Image
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
Image
It's just something internal that says, 'I've got to do this now. This is what I'm doing now.'
Paul Weller
Image
Everyone gets frustrated and aggressive, and I'd sooner take my aggression out on a guitar than on a person.
Paul Weller
Image
There's such a wealth of great music, clothes or whatever. There is so much great stuff out there, that why would you not still be interested if you've grown up in that kind of culture?
Paul Weller
Image
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
Image
When you look at so much of what we all love, there's either soul-based to it, or it's the blues. It's really the beginnings of any kind of music. It really is it all starts there. Because after that, it's music of the moment.

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

In all honesty, I don't know what one song can change.

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

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.

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 look for that stimulation constantly. I'm looking for inspiration and stimulation. Not bored with what we've done.
