Leading Performer

Famous quotes containing the words leading and/or performer:

    So may I, blind fortune leading me,
    Miss that which one unworthier may attain,
    And die with grieving.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
