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.

More quotes by Eric Clapton
Plant your love and let it grow.
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.
Eric Clapton
Loose ladies on the road will drive you crazy, every no, becomes a maybe.
Eric Clapton
I know there will be no more tears in heaven.
Eric Clapton
In playing, I suppose my greatest gift was to express the way I felt or the willingness to express myself.
Eric Clapton
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
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
Eric Clapton
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.
Eric Clapton
I am, and always will be, a blues guitarist.
Eric Clapton
The Yardbirds came in to the Crawdaddy Club a week after the Stones finished their Sunday night residency. They had done it for almost a year, I think, and then we did it for a year. It was better when they were playing there because when they went they took half the crowd with them and it took us quite a while to build up our own following.
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
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
I'd love to knock an audience cold with one note, but what do you do for the rest of the evening?
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 grew up playing in clubs - that's my spiritual stomping ground.
Eric Clapton
I can't play long solos anymore without boring myself.
Eric Clapton
Like a fool, I fell in love with you, Turned my whole world upside down
Eric Clapton
If you hand me a guitar, I'll play the blues. That's the place I automatically go.
Eric Clapton
I couldn't believe how good Jimi Hendrix was It was a really difficult thing for me to deal with, but I just had to surrender and say, 'This is fantastic.'
Eric Clapton
Every time you pick up your guitar to play, play as if it's the last time.
Eric Clapton
