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. View quote
