“One practice I rely on all the time is basic meditation which allows me to strip away the noise. It's like the old-fashioned dial on the radio, where you were getting static and then you found that clear, sweet spot on the dial, where the music would come through. That's what meditation is for me. Dialling out the static, the noise, the anxiety, the fear, and coming into a place that's deep and quiet. It's like dropping into a well of inspiration and wisdom.” WellsInspirationFoundPracticeClearMeditationSweetQuietAnxietyRadioNoiseSpotsRelyOld FashionedDroppingStatic Author:Elizabeth Lesser

“I was never ambitious. I just wanted to have quiet, calm, listen to public radio and say, hello, how are you? Sit down, rest. But I had an early partner named Fred Freeman, a wonderful writer who I met at Northwestern. And I thought we were doing very well with "Jack Paar," and he said, no, we got to go to Hollywood. We got to write sitcom. It's the coming thing.” WritingWellsSaidWantedWonderfulMetsQuietHollywoodCalmRadioPartnersAmbitiousHelloSitcomFreemanNorthwesternPublic Radio Author:Garry Marshall
