On Tuesday, December 3rd, at the David Lynch Foundation's 5th annual Change Begins Within Gala at the Conrad Hotel in New York City, Jerry Seinfeld took the stage to open the event:
"When I was doing the TV series in which I was the star of the show, the executive producer, the head writer, casting and editing, for 22 to 24 episodes on network television—not cable! Network! For 9 years. Okay? That's a lot of work. And I'm a regular guy, pretty much. You know, I'm not one of these crazy people that has endless, boundless energy. I'm just a normal guy, but that was not a normal situation to be in. So what I would do is everyday, when everybody would have lunch, I would do TM. Then I would eat while I was working because I had missed lunch. That is how I survived the nine years. It was that 20 minutes in the middle of the day saved me."
