From Eric Clapton’s interview with the YouTube channel The Real Music Observer:

«I want to live a quiet life and just negotiate what’s ahead of me, so I’m making a rob from my own back talking out about «the thing» and «the things»… but one thing about «the thing» I would like to make clear – because I have to keep reestablishing – it is that I’m neither, anti or pro, I’m for freedom of choice really and respect for other people and kindness and the things that are used to motivate or were things to aspire to, so aspirations towards goodness. And also I’m quite, in abstract way, quite religious – I believe in God I think there’s a purpose and this seems to be my purpose at the moment. So we’re going down the road together for a little while, anyway.»
