Paul Weller Interview In July Issue Of SPIN Magazine!

There is a multi-page interview with Paul in the July issue of the US magazine called, SPIN.

A Few Quotes:
"I've considered retiring after almost every record I've made lately. This one is different."

"Nostalgia has become a whole industry in itself at the moment, and I don't like it. You can never recapture what has gone."

"I thought The Style Council were amazing. We had some great singles; in fact, alongside The Smiths, we were one of the great singles bands of the era."

"I can't sit here and say I was born cool, because that just sounds wanky. But, I guess it's just the way I am."

"I always like my clothes, even before I could properly afford them. Clothes are how I choose to express myself. I never dress for woman. I only ever dress for me."

Repost From The Huffington Post By: Jason Holmes Paul Weller bounds into his chair, an electronic cigarette gripped in his hand. We're in the BBC's Studio Three in Maida Vale. Visibly calm owing to post-tour exhaustion and a morning trip to the gym, Weller is here to be interviewed by John Wilson for BBC Radio 4's Mastertapes series. "Back in those days, bands put out an album a year, you toured with it for a year, then you went back in the studio and repeated the process. Looking back, I was glad I experienced that pressure. It helped me refine my craft and find myself as a writer. It kept me on my toes," says Weller, Gibson acoustic on knee. "It wasn't a treadmill, it was just what bands did back then.
