More quotes by Eric Clapton
I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department.
Eric Clapton
I am, and always will be, a blues guitarist.
Eric Clapton
Music became a healer for me. And I learned to listen with all my being. I found that it could wipe away all fear and confusion.
Eric Clapton
I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department. And I suppose because I am fairly well off and a famous musician, I'm up for grabs. And that makes me an eligible bachelor in the press.
Eric Clapton
When I saw Jimi Hendrix I knew immediately that this guy was the real thing ... and when he played it was like a rough sketch of what he was going to become ... this guy was our generation, and he wasn't in a suit .. he played a Howlin' Wolf song 'Killing Floor', and then we (The Cream) had to carry on the set. It was pretty hard to follow.
Eric Clapton
All I am certain of right now is that I don't want to go anywhere, and that's not bad for someone who always used to run.
Eric Clapton
There are people these days who can do things on the guitar which are beyond my reach. There's one guy who plays with Queen who can do things I would dream of doing. I sincerely mean that.
Eric Clapton
So there I was in Hollywood, thinking I was doing good.
Eric Clapton
An obsession is where something will not leave your mind.
Eric Clapton
And I don't like having my picture taken. I'm almost like an old African in that sense. I think it steals a bit of the soul.
Eric Clapton
But the guitar, when you think about it, is the most versatile, really. I mean you can pick it up and take it with you wherever you go.
Eric Clapton
When you're onstage with an electric band going through a massive P.A. system, it's very artificial. You can't really hear your own voice as it comes out of your mouth.
Eric Clapton
The first band I identified with from Chicago was the Muddy Waters band.
Eric Clapton
The toughest thing about being a celebrity, I suppose, is being polite when I don't want to be.
Eric Clapton
Although they can do it all the time, you know, they're far better than me, on a musically, on a theoretical music level. You know, they're out of my league.
Eric Clapton
[Unplugged] was also the cheapest to produce and required the least amount of preparation and work. But if you want to know what it actually cost me, go to Ripley and visit the grave of my son.
Eric Clapton
I grew up playing in clubs - that's my spiritual stomping ground.
Eric Clapton
If you hand me a guitar, I'll play the blues. That's the place I automatically go.
Eric Clapton
When I look for what I'm going to listen to I go backwards. I'm always going the other way you see. Most people are trying to figure out 'how do I get in the fast lane going that way?'. I'm going in the other direction. I wanna find the oldest thing to do.
Eric Clapton
I know there will be no more tears in heaven.
Eric Clapton
