I'm still a mod, I'll always be a mod, you can bury me a mod.
Paul Weller
Image
You can't live a lie. You have to follow your heart.
Paul Weller
Image
You have to keep challenging yourself. I've always tried to do that, and I'm not saying I've always been successful. Maybe I've rewritten the same song it's inevitable, but I've always been mindful of taking the writing somewhere else. You can't stick in your little comfort zone.
Paul Weller
Image
I want to hear as much music as I possibly can before I leave this mortal coil but it's impossible to hear it all because there's so much of it.
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
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
It is nice to make a record and people like it, and it's encouraging.
Paul Weller
Image
I only put an album out every two or three years.
Paul Weller

I look for that stimulation constantly. I'm looking for inspiration and stimulation. Not bored with what we've done.
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
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
Image
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
Image
Everyone gets frustrated and aggressive, and I'd sooner take my aggression out on a guitar than on a person.
Paul Weller
Image
When I'm dead I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.
Paul Weller
Image
I wanted to make a record that sounded like a continous piece
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.

I've not had Botox, no.
Paul Weller
Image
There are so many artists who get to my age that get comfortable and just stick in a groove, and I really don't want to do that.
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.
