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
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
Well, I think part of my gift, or if I have one, is that I love listening.
Eric Clapton
I often enjoy singing in an acoustic setting more than an amplified one.
Eric Clapton
Plant your love and let it grow.
Eric Clapton
Music will always find its way to us, with or without business, politics, religion, or any other bullshit attached.
Eric Clapton
Loose ladies on the road will drive you crazy, every no, becomes a maybe.
