Paul Weller (singer) quotes - page 3

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 (singer))

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.

Paul Weller (singer)

I get labelled as just being about one thing, but there's lots of layers to what I do.

Paul Weller (singer)

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 (singer)

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 (singer)

I'm not big on rap, to be honest. I just don't get it. It's angry people shouting. I like a song, melodies, people singing.

Paul Weller (singer)

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 (singer)

I'd like to think I've left something in the world. Without in any way trying to be morbid, but life is very short, and I'd like to think I'd leave some body of work that would inspire other musicians long after I've gone.

Paul Weller (singer)

When I lived in a little flat in Pimlico in 1981, I'd write in the hallway. As you walked in, there was a tiny little recess type thing, hardly a hallway, really, and I'd sit there writing songs with my guitar.

Paul Weller (singer)

I'm very, very open to experimenting with different people and trying to find different methods of writing and making music.

Paul Weller (singer)

It is nice to make a record and people like it, and it's encouraging. (Paul Weller (singer))

In all honesty, I don't know what one song can change.

Paul Weller (singer)

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

Paul Weller (singer)

I think people are just really disappointed, disappointed with Blair as well, who's just like Bush's lapdog. I think everyone's just disillusioned with politics in our country, and it must be the same in your country.
