The Yardbirds came in to the Crawdaddy Club a week after the Stones finished their Sunday night residency. They had done it for almost a year, I think, and then we did it for a year.

Eric Clapton
Whatever your standing in life, the most important thing is behaving in ways that help other people. It's the same with music. I am a servant of the music ... and if I get caught up in ego, I'll lose everything .. it'll burn and that's a guarantee.
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
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
I like solitude. I like the anomalous life. I like a quiet life.
Eric Clapton
To sing in a lower key is harder work. You have to use your diaphragm more.
Eric Clapton
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine But I don't like yours and you don't like mine.
Eric Clapton
I remember hearing Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Big Bill Broonzy, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley and not really knowing anything about the geography or the culture of the music. But for some reason it did something to me - it resonated.
Eric Clapton
I saw you walking with your other man today. If I catch you one more time, I'm gonna blow you both away.
Eric Clapton
Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present. It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.
Eric Clapton
