More quotes by 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 always respected that B.B. sees music in a very open, free way.
Eric Clapton
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
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
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
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
Eric Clapton
Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present. It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.
Eric Clapton
If you hand me a guitar, I'll play the blues. That's the place I automatically go.
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 wish I could write easily. I'm one of those guys who's visited by the muse when things are dire.
Eric Clapton
Music became a healer for me. And I learned to listen with all my being. I found that it could wipe away all fear and confusion.
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
Although they can do it all the time, you know, they're far better than me, on a musically, on a theoretical music level. You know, they're out of my league.
Eric Clapton
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.
Eric Clapton
I know there will be no more tears in heaven.
Eric Clapton
The first band I identified with from Chicago was the Muddy Waters band.
Eric Clapton
For me, the most trustworthy vehicle for spirituality had always proven to be music.
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
I've always wanted the sound of Muddy Waters' early records - only louder
Eric Clapton
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.
