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
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
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
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
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
I only put an album out every two or three years.
Paul Weller
In all honesty, I don't know what one song can change.
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
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
I look for that stimulation constantly. I'm looking for inspiration and stimulation. Not bored with what we've done.
Paul Weller
If we get through for two minutes only it will be a start!
Paul Weller
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
I'm always looking forward to what I'm doing now, and what's ahead.
Paul Weller
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
I love soul music, that's my real love in life and in whatever shape or form it is.
Paul Weller
When I'm dead I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.
Paul Weller
I could say that 'Exile On Main Street' was my favourite or whatever, but I'm more about the songs and the artists and the sound that they bring.
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
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.
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
