XRCO Award - Female Performer of The Year

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

“For myself I found that the occupation of a day-laborer was the most independent of any, especially as it required only thirty or forty days in a year to support one. The laborer’s day ends with the going down of the sun, and he is then free to devote himself to his chosen pursuit, independent of his labor; but his employer, who speculates from month to month, has no respite from one end of the year to the other.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“If you think it will only add one sprig to the wreath the country twines to bind the brows of my hero, I will run the risk of being sneered at by those who criticize female productions of all kinds. ...Though a female, I was born a patriot.”
—Annie Boudinot Stockton (1736–1801)

“The ultimate sin of any performer is contempt for the audience.”
—Lester Bangs (1948–1982)

“Never read any book that is not a year old.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
