Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present. It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.
Eric Clapton
Image
I grew up playing in clubs - that's my spiritual stomping ground.
Eric Clapton
Image
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
Image
To sing in a lower key is harder work. You have to use your diaphragm more.
Eric Clapton
Image
In playing, I suppose my greatest gift was to express the way I felt or the willingness to express myself.
Eric Clapton
Image
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.

I saw you walking with your other man today. If I catch you one more time, I'm gonna blow you both away.
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
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
You were at school and you were pimply and no one wanted to know you. You get into a group and you've got thousands of chicks there.
Eric Clapton
Image
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
Eric Clapton
Image
Whatever your standing in life, the most important thing is behaving in ways that help other people. It's the same with music. I am a servant of the music ... and if I get caught up in ego, I'll lose everything .. it'll burn and that's a guarantee.
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 always respected that B.B. sees music in a very open, free way.
Eric Clapton
Image
I'd love to knock an audience cold with one note, but what do you do for the rest of the evening?
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.
Eric Clapton
Image
I often enjoy singing in an acoustic setting more than an amplified one.
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.
Eric Clapton
Image
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.
Eric Clapton
Image
And I don't like having my picture taken. I'm almost like an old African in that sense. I think it steals a bit of the soul.
