More quotes by Eric Clapton
I always respected that B.B. sees music in a very open, free way.
Eric Clapton
It's taken me to be an older guy, an old man, to have an old man's voice. Because I only liked old men's voices. As a kid, I didn't like pip-squeaked singers.
Eric Clapton
All along this path I tread, my heart betrays my weary head, with nothing but my love to save, from the cradle to the grave.
Eric Clapton
In playing, I suppose my greatest gift was to express the way I felt or the willingness to express myself.
Eric Clapton
From the beginning, I knew intuitively that if nothing else, music was safe, and that nobody could tell me anything about it. Music didn't need a middleman, whereas all the other things in school needed some kind of explanation.
Eric Clapton
Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present. It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.
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
I mean, the sound of an amplified guitar in a room full of people was so hypnotic and addictive to me, that I could cross any kind of border to get on there.
Eric Clapton
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton
Plant your love and let it grow.
Eric Clapton
I don't know if I believe in luck. I think I'm very fortunate.
Eric Clapton
The music scene as I look at it today is a little different from when I was growing up. The percentages are roughly the same - 95 percent rubbish, 5 percent pure.
Eric Clapton
My driving philosophy about making music is that you can reduce it all down to one note if that note is played with the right kind of sincerity.
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
[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 know there will be no more tears in heaven.
Eric Clapton
I am, and always will be, a blues guitarist.
Eric Clapton
I couldn't believe how good Jimi Hendrix was It was a really difficult thing for me to deal with, but I just had to surrender and say, 'This is fantastic.'
Eric Clapton
I've always wanted the sound of Muddy Waters' early records - only louder
