At 57, to have a No. 1 album, I wasn't expecting it.

I don't get tired of playing "Margaritaville". It's paid my bills for years.

Go fast enough to get there, but slow enough to see.

Humor has bailed me out of more tight situations than I can think of. If you go with your instincts and keep your humor, creativity follows. With luck, success comes, too.

I'm either going to go completely mental, completely bankrupt, or have the best success of my life.

The hardest thing to find in life is balance - especially the more success you have, the more you look to the other side of the gate. What do I need to stay grounded, in touch, in love, connected, emotionally balanced? Look within yourself.
