Quote

I love the Kinks, but I like all sorts of music. If I stay at home at night and play records, I just go through the whole spectrum, really. I just love music.

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
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.

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

I think part of what we do is there is a bit of dandy influence, always, or a little sprinkle of it. Not literal Savile Row dandy, but there's a bit of sartorial dandiness in everything that we do - every collection that we do.

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 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

When I'm dead I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.

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

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

In the past we used to come over to see what was going on in London or Paris or Milan or wherever - it's pretty much the same stuff everywhere [now], and people are wearing the same things, because it's all instantaneous with the Internet.

It's always good to play New York. The Apollo is a great gig. I loved that.

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.

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.

I only put an album out every two or three years.

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.

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.

The '40s were quite austere and super glamorous.
