More quotes by Eric Clapton
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
Eric Clapton
I am, and always will be, a blues guitarist.
Eric Clapton
I got a problem, can you relate? I got a woman calling love hate.
Eric Clapton
I mean, it didn't matter to me that there were people, it didn't matter that I was shy Just the sound was so captivating that it helped me to get rid of those inhibitions.
Eric Clapton
Plant your love and let it grow.
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
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 don't know if I believe in luck. I think I'm very fortunate.
Eric Clapton
I know there will be no more tears in heaven.
Eric Clapton
Up until I became a father, it was all about self-obsession. But then I learned exactly what it's all about: the delight of being a servant.
Eric Clapton
And I don't like having my picture taken. I'm almost like an old African in that sense. I think it steals a bit of the soul.
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
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
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
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
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
Music will always find its way to us, with or without business, politics, religion, or any other bullshit attached.
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 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 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
