More quotes by Eric Clapton
I grew up playing in clubs - that's my spiritual stomping ground.
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
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
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine But I don't like yours and you don't like mine.
Eric Clapton
Up until I became a father, it was all about self-obsession. But then I learned exactly what it's all about: the delight of being a servant.
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 just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department.
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
I wish I could write easily. I'm one of those guys who's visited by the muse when things are dire.
Eric Clapton
Well, I think part of my gift, or if I have one, is that I love listening.
Eric Clapton
If you hand me a guitar, I'll play the blues. That's the place I automatically go.
Eric Clapton
I can't play long solos anymore without boring myself.
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
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
I know there will be no more tears in heaven.
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
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
I mean, it didn't matter to me that there were people, it didn't matter that I was shy Just the sound was so captivating that it helped me to get rid of those inhibitions.
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 feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes, and the wonder of it all is you just don't realize how much I love you.
Eric Clapton
