Paul Weller
We'll smile, but only for seconds - for to be caught smiling is to acknowledge life - A brave but useless show of compassion, and that is forbidden in this drab and colourless world.
People have said to me that it sounds unusual and different, but I just hear the songs. That's all I'm really interested in. Writing good songs and making them sound as fresh and timeless as possible. You know, if you stumble on something new along the way that's great. But I'm not into new sounds just for the sake of it. I'm a songwriter.
I think politicians are so far out of step with what people really want.
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.
I can make my Marshall go from a screaming loud tone to a beautiful clean, warm, bassy sound with a mere flick of a pick-up switch.
