Jerry Seinfeld says studying Scientology made him a better performer

Bee Movie star Jerry Seinfeld says that studying Scientology made him a better performer .

The 53-year-old comedian tells Parade magazine that a teacher in high school turned him onto the religion almost 30 years ago. "It was interesting. Believe it or not...it's extremely intellectual and clinical in its approach to problem-solving, which really appealed to me."

"In my early years of stand-up, it was very helpful. I took a couple of courses. One of them was in communication, and I learned some things about communication that really got my act going."
