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."
