Jo Anne Worley's Quotes

• I have a big mouth, and I'm sorry to say I've always had one. When I was young, in church, I never sang with everybody else. I only mouthed the hymns, so I wouldn't drown everyone else out. I have my quiet moments. But I don't have many.
• They [managers/agents] always say you have to do a departure role because I guess people are just curious to know whether you are really crazy or not. So I've done departure roles on television & they're just boring. It's just like a plane crashes into the ocean & you're tattered & covered with oil, gasping for breath, almost dying. I'd rather make people laugh than crawl through the sand.
