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

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
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

I am, and always will be, a blues guitarist.

I saw you walking with your other man today. If I catch you one more time, I'm gonna blow you both away.

Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present. It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.

[Unplugged] was also the cheapest to produce and required the least amount of preparation and work. But if you want to know what it actually cost me, go to Ripley and visit the grave of my son.

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.

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.

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.
Eric Clapton

It's taken me to be an older guy, an old man, to have an old man's voice. Because I only liked old men's voices. As a kid, I didn't like pip-squeaked singers.

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

I grew up playing in clubs - that's my spiritual stomping ground.
Eric Clapton

If you hand me a guitar, I'll play the blues. That's the place I automatically go.
Eric Clapton

When I look for what I'm going to listen to I go backwards. I'm always going the other way you see. Most people are trying to figure out 'how do I get in the fast lane going that way?'. I'm going in the other direction. I wanna find the oldest thing to do.

When I saw Jimi Hendrix I knew immediately that this guy was the real thing ... and when he played it was like a rough sketch of what he was going to become ... this guy was our generation, and he wasn't in a suit .. he played a Howlin' Wolf song 'Killing Floor', and then we (The Cream) had to carry on the set. It was pretty hard to follow.

I know there will be no more tears in heaven.

I got a problem, can you relate? I got a woman calling love hate.

I'd love to knock an audience cold with one note, but what do you do for the rest of the evening?

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.
