More quotes by Eric Clapton
My definition of Blues is that it's a musical form which is very disciplined and structured coupled with a state of mind, and you can have either of those things but it's the two together that make it what it is. And you need to be a student for one, and a human being for the other, but those things alone don't do it.
Eric Clapton

This moment in time, on this tour, you know, I'm discovering a lot of new things. And to be 45 and doing that, it's a mixture of pleasure and pain, I can assure you.
Eric Clapton
I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department.
Eric Clapton

If you hand me a guitar, I'll play the blues. That's the place I automatically go.
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
To sing in a lower key is harder work. You have to use your diaphragm more.

I don't know if I believe in luck. I think I'm very fortunate.
Eric Clapton
