“He’s clean and he’s reformed, a different person, We’re not exactly greatfriends. I see him sometimes and we’re very civil to each other. He leads a completely different life to me now. He’s a family man and he’s enjoying his life. I’m so glad he’s touring again after saying he was giving it up for good. He’d be mad to abandon it. I saw him play at the Albert Hall recently and he’s still incredible.” — Pattie Boyd (about Eric Clapton)
“There was a concert in Australia where Eric played lying down on his back because he just couldn’t stand up. A few people thought it was funny but the sad truth is that it was desperate. I set out to try and help him, looking for doctors who treated alcohol problems and trying to make him face things.” — Pattie Boyd
“Actually, I saw Ruth in London the other day. She really is a lovely girl, But I was devastated when he told me. It didn’t help, not being able to have children of my own.” — Pattie Boyd (about Eric’s daughter Ruth)
