More quotes by 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
At first the music almost repelled me, it was so intense, and this man made no attempt to sugarcoat what he was trying to say, or play. It was hard-core, more than anything I had ever heard. After a few listenings I realized that, on some level, I had found the master, and that following this man's example would be my life's work.
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
My original interests and intentions in guitar playing were primarily created on quality of tone, for instance, the way the instrument could be made to echo or simulate the human voice.
Eric Clapton
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
I don't know if I believe in luck. I think I'm very fortunate.
Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton
I've always wanted the sound of Muddy Waters' early records - only louder
Eric Clapton
Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present. It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.
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 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
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
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 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
Like a fool, I fell in love with you, Turned my whole world upside down
Eric Clapton
Every time you pick up your guitar to play, play as if it's the last time.
Eric Clapton
An obsession is where something will not leave your mind.
Eric Clapton
So there I was in Hollywood, thinking I was doing good.
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
