In the midst of rehearsing for Just Say DA!: Direct Object, Tom talks about his relationship with objects over the years…
My relationship with objects began when, as a young boy, I experimented with how much I could destroy an object with my teeth. I progressed into my youth and into smashing things with my hands, feet, and head. After being accepted into the Chuck Norris School of Literature, I realized that chewing on pens was the best way for me to take out my destructive urges. The alarm clocks, portable phones, and wooden doors of the world breathed a sigh of relief, and The Walgreen’s stationary department started bilking me for $5 a week. I cannot write with a pencil because it is difficult for the human stomach to digest wood; but I can play with a pencil, oh yes, I can. Just keep it away from that all-hungry maw!!!
