XRCO Award - Female Performer of The Year

Famous quotes containing the words female, performer and/or year:

“... the mistakes that we male and female mortals make when we have our own way might fairly raise some wonder that we are so fond of it.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

“Celebrity is a mask that eats into the face. As soon as one is aware of being “somebody,” to be watched and listened to with extra interest, input ceases, and the performer goes blind and deaf in his overanimation. One can either see or be seen.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)

“‘He hardly drinks a pint of wine,
And that, I doubt, is no good sign.
His stomach too begins to fail:
Last year we thought him strong and hale,
But now, he’s quite another thing;
I wish he may hold out till spring.’

Then hug themselves, and reason thus;
‘It is not yet so bad with us.’”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
