“And after the performance it’s fine, and I’m at the bar, and this actor comes up to me and he says, ‘Oh I enjoyed that, would you like to join us at the table and have a drink with us? About half an hour later, this actor says to me, ‘Are you on drugs?’
Tom explained that while he has “nothing against people who use drugs,” he is “not a drug man” himself.
