JoAnn Yeoman dishes on her love for John Cleese and Waiting for Guffman and her aversion to stand-up
I knew I wanted to be in show business when I was 3 years old and my mom took me to see Swan Lake.
The worst thing about being an actor is that most people have no idea how difficult, demanding, and important a profession it is.
If I could be anyone other than myself it would be Leonard Bernstein.
It's not entirely true, but I sometimes tell people that I actually know what I'm doing.
My worst audition ever was all of them! I'm a horrible auditioner.
The fictional character I am most like is Corky from Waiting for Guffman.
I am utterly terrified of ever losing my passion for life.
I laugh uncontrollably at John Cleese.
The one thing I absolutely refuse to do onstage is stand-up comedy.
Something I have never admitted to anyone before is what a terrible temper I have.
Currently, I am reading The Hedgehog, the Fox and the Magister's Pox by Stephen Gould.
The first time I got drunk I threw up.
Like my mother used to say, "A civilized young lady never finishes everything on her plate. They'll think we don't feed you at home."
