More quotes by Eric Clapton
So there I was in Hollywood, thinking I was doing good.
Eric Clapton
I can't play long solos anymore without boring myself.
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
The toughest thing about being a celebrity, I suppose, is being polite when I don't want to be.
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
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
I wish I could write easily. I'm one of those guys who's visited by the muse when things are dire.
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
Having lovers and friends is all good and fine But I don't like yours and you don't like mine.
Eric Clapton
Whatever your standing in life, the most important thing is behaving in ways that help other people. It's the same with music. I am a servant of the music ... and if I get caught up in ego, I'll lose everything .. it'll burn and that's a guarantee.
Eric Clapton
I grew up playing in clubs - that's my spiritual stomping ground.
Eric Clapton
Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.
Eric Clapton
I don't know if I believe in luck. I think I'm very fortunate.
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
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
When I look for what I'm going to listen to I go backwards. I'm always going the other way you see. Most people are trying to figure out 'how do I get in the fast lane going that way?'. I'm going in the other direction. I wanna find the oldest thing to do.
Eric Clapton
I am, and always will be, a blues guitarist.
Eric Clapton
I always respected that B.B. sees music in a very open, free way.
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
