PAUL WELLER: "I bought a scooter and done the whole works, everybody thought I was fucking mad in Woking, but it was just something for me to do. At the time, I really wanted something like the punk movement to come along, with, like, everyone playing to kids your own age. Up until then we were just playing to 40-year-old hippies, but I needed something to relate to."
"We were doing it before punk arrived. I was always very image- conscious as a kid. We always had a special stage look, just to stand out – I just thought we should all dress the same and wear black suits. But also from my love of the whole Mod thing as well. "
PAUL WELLER: "I'm still a mod, I'll always be a mod, you can bury me a mod."
