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.

To sing in a lower key is harder work. You have to use your diaphragm more.
Eric Clapton
Image
An obsession is where something will not leave your mind.
Eric Clapton

At first the music almost repelled me, it was so intense, and this man made no attempt to sugarcoat what he was trying to say, or play. It was hard-core, more than anything I had ever heard. After a few listenings I realized that, on some level, I had found the master, and that following this man's example would be my life's work.

So there I was in Hollywood, thinking I was doing good.
Eric Clapton
Image
Leave bands, go back to obscurity if I choose to, without a great sense of loss of security because it's all been based on the fact that I did it on my own or was doing, enjoying doing it on my own in the first place.

The first band I identified with from Chicago was the Muddy Waters band.

I always respected that B.B. sees music in a very open, free way.

I have no problem with religion, and I grew up with a strong curiosity about spiritual matters, but my searching took me away from church and community worship to the internal journey. Before my recovery began, I found my God in music and the arts, with writers like Hermann Hesse, and musicians like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, and Little Walter.

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
Image
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
Image
Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present. It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.
Eric Clapton
Image
The blues are what I've turned to, what has given me inspiration and relief in all the trials of my life.
Eric Clapton
Image
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
Image
I listened to King Oliver and I listened to Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, Archie Shepp... I listened to everything I could that came from that place that they call the blues but, in formality, isn't necessarily the blues.

I grew up playing in clubs - that's my spiritual stomping ground.
Eric Clapton
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
I don't know if I believe in luck. I think I'm very fortunate.
Eric Clapton
Image
I remember when I thought of singing as the bit that went between the guitar playing - something I couldn't wait to get out of the way. Singing was originally like a chore that I didn't really enjoy.

Having lovers and friends is all good and fine But I don't like yours and you don't like mine.
