More quotes by Eric Clapton

Image
Music will always find its way to us, with or without business, politics, religion, or any other bullshit attached.
Eric Clapton
Image
Well, I think part of my gift, or if I have one, is that I love listening.
Eric Clapton
Image
I grew up playing in clubs - that's my spiritual stomping ground.
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
I often enjoy singing in an acoustic setting more than an amplified one.
Eric Clapton
Image
From the beginning, I knew intuitively that if nothing else, music was safe, and that nobody could tell me anything about it. Music didn't need a middleman, whereas all the other things in school needed some kind of explanation.
Eric Clapton
Image
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.
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
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
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
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
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 can't play long solos anymore without boring myself.
Eric Clapton
Image
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
Image
I am, and always will be, a blues guitarist.
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
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
Image
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
Image
I mean, the sound of an amplified guitar in a room full of people was so hypnotic and addictive to me, that I could cross any kind of border to get on there.
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.
