Never complain and never explain.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
After a storm comes a calm.
It's always too early to quit.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
You never know what motivates you.
I loved my 17 years with R.E.M., but I'm ready to reflect, assess and move on to a different phase of my life. The four of us will continue our close friendship, and I look forward to hearing their future efforts as the world's biggest R.E.M. fan.
