In the early-'60s, when you look at that period of time - up to the mod time - when everybody was wearing skinnier suits and skinny lapels and skinny ties - that came out of the States, and that was quite cool.

More quotes by Paul Weller
It's a global fashion thing because of the Internet it has gotten really small. It's cluttered, but it's gotten small.
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 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
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 look for that stimulation constantly. I'm looking for inspiration and stimulation. Not bored with what we've done.
Paul Weller
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.
Paul Weller
It is nice to make a record and people like it, and it's encouraging.
Paul Weller
The '40s were quite austere and super glamorous.
Paul Weller
I think the world is really small today, and fashion, from that end of it, it's instantaneous everywhere.
Paul Weller
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
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
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.
Paul Weller
Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter.
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
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.
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
Everyone gets frustrated and aggressive, and I'd sooner take my aggression out on a guitar than on a person.
Paul Weller
I only put an album out every two or three years.
Paul Weller
I'm always looking forward to what I'm doing now, and what's ahead.
Paul Weller
No man should have cowboys boots in his wardrobe. That's fair enough, isn't it? Unless you're a cowboy, of course.
