I could learn how to press 'Record' on a tape recorder and write for a newspaper or a magazine.

So I use a tape recorder a lot to record ideas.

It's such a relief for me to sit in front of a tape recorder and not be using it to learn my lines.

As a 13, - 14-year-old kid, I'd sit on my bed with a tape recorder and a newspaper. I would do my own newscast. I would practice my diction.

Recalling a memory is not like playing a tape recorder. It's a creative process.

I ain't never far away from a pencil and paper or a tape recorder.
