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

Music will always find its way to us, with or without business, politics, religion, or any other bullshit attached.
Eric Clapton
Image
I've always wanted the sound of Muddy Waters' early records - only louder

I know there will be no more tears in heaven.
Eric Clapton
Image
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

My original interests and intentions in guitar playing were primarily created on quality of tone, for instance, the way the instrument could be made to echo or simulate the human voice.

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.

Like a fool, I fell in love with you, Turned my whole world upside down

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.

In playing, I suppose my greatest gift was to express the way I felt or the willingness to express myself.
Eric Clapton
Image
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
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
So there I was in Hollywood, thinking I was doing good.
Eric Clapton
Image
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
Image
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.

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
Eric Clapton
Image
If you hand me a guitar, I'll play the blues. That's the place I automatically go.

Loose ladies on the road will drive you crazy, every no, becomes a maybe.
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.

I wish I could write easily. I'm one of those guys who's visited by the muse when things are dire.
