More quotes by Eric Clapton
Well, I think part of my gift, or if I have one, is that I love listening.
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
I wish I could write easily. I'm one of those guys who's visited by the muse when things are dire.
Eric Clapton
I can't play long solos anymore without boring myself.
Eric Clapton
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.
Eric Clapton
Leave bands, go back to obscurity if I choose to, without a great sense of loss of security because it's all been based on the fact that I did it on my own or was doing, enjoying doing it on my own in the first place.
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

Eric Clapton
Plant your love and let it grow.
Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton
I always respected that B.B. sees music in a very open, free way.
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.
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
Loose ladies on the road will drive you crazy, every no, becomes a maybe.
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
Like a fool, I fell in love with you, Turned my whole world upside down
Eric Clapton
So there I was in Hollywood, thinking I was doing good.
Eric Clapton
An obsession is where something will not leave your mind.
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
I grew up playing in clubs - that's my spiritual stomping ground.
Eric Clapton
