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.

You can't live a lie. You have to follow your heart.
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
No man should have cowboys boots in his wardrobe. That's fair enough, isn't it? Unless you're a cowboy, of course.
Paul Weller
Image
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
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
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
Image
I only put an album out every two or three years.
Paul Weller
Image
When I'm dead I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.
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
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.

Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter.
Paul Weller
Image
I never get too many problems. You can never please everyone anyway, obviously. And some people take the easy route and just play the greatest hits, and their audience is happy to hear that as well, and that's fine, but it wouldn't please me. But it doesn't trouble me.
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'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
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.

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.

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
Image
It can get boring. Not the playing the songs necessarily, or doing the clothes. You know, you need stimulus.
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.

I don't like the royal family, I don't like the establishment, I don't like the civil service.
