More quotes by Eric Clapton
I am, and always will be, a blues guitarist.
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
The toughest thing about being a celebrity, I suppose, is being polite when I don't want to be.
Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton
I know there will be no more tears in heaven.
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
If you hand me a guitar, I'll play the blues. That's the place I automatically go.
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 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.
Eric Clapton
I like solitude. I like the anomalous life. I like a quiet life.
Eric Clapton
I got a problem, can you relate? I got a woman calling love hate.
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
I'd love to knock an audience cold with one note, but what do you do for the rest of the evening?
Eric Clapton
So there I was in Hollywood, thinking I was doing good.
Eric Clapton
I've always wanted the sound of Muddy Waters' early records - only louder
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
In playing, I suppose my greatest gift was to express the way I felt or the willingness to express myself.
Eric Clapton
When all the original blues guys are gone, you start to realize that someone has to tend to the tradition. I recognize that I have some responsibility to keep the music alive, and it's a pretty honorable position to be in.
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
