Quote

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.

When I'm dead I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.
Paul Weller
Image
I'm still a mod, I'll always be a mod, you can bury me a mod.
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
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
Image
The Jam were a good band, however I feel that the Style Council were better. A lot of people I know will disagree with me. Some things we did with The Style Council were misinterpreted or over their heads.
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
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.
Paul Weller
Image
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.

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.

Image
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
It can get boring. Not the playing the songs necessarily, or doing the clothes. You know, you need stimulus.
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
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.
Paul Weller
Image
I suppose I was much more serious-minded in the '70s and '80s.
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
Image
There's more to distract people, isn't there? When I was a kid there was music and football and clothes. And that was kind of it, really. Those three things defined you as a person.
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.
Paul Weller
Image
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.

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

The Beatles changed the world. They certainly changed my world, and many, many other individuals as well.
