You haven't been on tape, nobody sees what you can do, nobody sees how you play, so they don't have anything to watch.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Watching tape is key. I basically watch every game. It's the only way to break down your opponents.
I tape every game I can get my hands on. Every game that's on TV, I tape it. My daughter, Terry Hill, lives in Eureka, and she has a satellite dish, so she tapes what I can't get. I try to keep up with what everybody is doing, so if the phone rings, I'll be ready.
When we're not on the practice field, I'm watching tape, and when I'm not watching tape, I'm doing body work or something like that.
If I do a piece in my living room, if I practice it - and I have the tapes to prove this - it's not going to be as good as doing the same piece in front of an audience.
I don't watch my playbacks because I hate to see myself act.
Very often when I go in to meet for movies or pilots, I'm put on videotape. I hate the notion that that tape is going to sit on a shelf and never get better.
Everything is pre-taped these days, but I'm a believer in, 'If you can't do it live, don't do it.'
The whole thing with recording is you have to know when to turn off the tape machine and just stop recording because you want to keep fixing, fixing, fixing, you know?
We never heard of tape. Everything was live, live, live.
I don't even watch my own show: I tape it, I'm out.
