I grew up playing in clubs - that's my spiritual stomping ground.
Eric Clapton
For me, the most trustworthy vehicle for spirituality had always proven to be music.
Eric Clapton
When you're onstage with an electric band going through a massive P.A. system, it's very artificial. You can't really hear your own voice as it comes out of your mouth.
Eric Clapton
The only planning I do is about a minute before I play. I desperately try to think of something that will be effective, but I never sit down and work it out note for note.
Eric Clapton
In playing, I suppose my greatest gift was to express the way I felt or the willingness to express myself.
Eric Clapton
I can't play long solos anymore without boring myself.
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
Plant your love and let it grow.
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

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
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
To sing in a lower key is harder work. You have to use your diaphragm more.
Eric Clapton
The blues are what I've turned to, what has given me inspiration and relief in all the trials of my life.
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
I've always wanted the sound of Muddy Waters' early records - only louder
Eric Clapton
If you hand me a guitar, I'll play the blues. That's the place I automatically go.
Eric Clapton
I got a problem, can you relate? I got a woman calling love hate.
Eric Clapton
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
