More quotes by 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 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
Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present. It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.
Eric Clapton
In playing, I suppose my greatest gift was to express the way I felt or the willingness to express myself.
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
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
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
So there I was in Hollywood, thinking I was doing good.
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
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
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 don't know if I believe in luck. I think I'm very fortunate.
Eric Clapton
When all the original blues guys are gone, you start to realize that someone has to tend to the tradition. I recognize that I have some responsibility to keep the music alive, and it's a pretty honorable position to be in.
Eric Clapton
The toughest thing about being a celebrity, I suppose, is being polite when I don't want to be.
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
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
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
I often enjoy singing in an acoustic setting more than an amplified one.
Eric Clapton
I remember hearing Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Big Bill Broonzy, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley and not really knowing anything about the geography or the culture of the music. But for some reason it did something to me - it resonated.
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
