New
York,
(ANI):
Comic
Russell
Brand
has
confessed
that
meditation
has
changed
his
life
for
the
better.
The
actor,
who
dabbled
in
drugs
and
booze
but
has
been
clean
for
eight
years,
said,
"Crack,
heroin,
they're
all
nice
at
first
but
in
case
you
haven't
noticed
there
are
a
few
detrimental
effects
after
that."
Brand
was
speaking
at
the
David
Lynch
Foundation
"Change
Begins
Within" benefit
at
MoMA
this
week,
reports
the
New
York
Post.
Brand
also
said
Lynch
taught
him
about
transcendental
meditation
and
told
him:
"When
someone
says
something
stupid,
instead
of
hitting
them
in
the
head
with
a
baseball
bat,
you
say,
That's
a
really
good
idea.
It's
just
not
the
right
idea
for
this.
