English singer-songwriter Paul Weller wants to write his autobiography with a science-fiction twist by setting his story in space.

The 56-year-old rocker says he would be interested in committing his life story to paper, but he would want to do something unusual with his recollections, reports contactmusic.com.

Asked if he would write an autobiography, he said: "Yeah. But with a science-fiction theme to it. Set in space or something."

The "Wake Up the Nation" singer may have a hard time completing his old stories thanks to a ritual of destroying all his notebooks after making a record.

He told Uncut magazine: "I had this ritual, all my notebooks, after I finished a record, I'd either burn them or cut them into little pieces.

"My feelings were always 'Get rid of it, burn it, move on'. It's only recently that a mate of mine said, 'You should have kept all of them.' So I've started keeping them now," he added.
