Paul Weller

“For me, it's all about the song. It's not about the image or the haircut.”

“You have to be in the world to understand what's going on.”

“I just hate the idea of a revival. I'm not nostalgic.”

“Pop music is a fashion, and fashions come and go.”

“The older you get, the more you realize that it's not about what you have, it's about what you can give.”

“I'm always trying to do something different and trying to keep myself amused.”

“Soul is about authenticity. Soul is about finding the things in your life that are real and pure.”

“I don't think you should ever be afraid of trying something new.”

“I'm not interested in being a celebrity. I'm a musician.”

“You can't live in the past, otherwise you'll become a tribute act to yourself.”

“I think the best songs are the ones that are personal and honest.”

“I've always been driven by the desire to create.”

“I think your politics are in your music.”

“It's nice to know that people are still interested in what you're doing.”
