XRCO Award - Female Performer of The Year

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

“Most women defend themselves. It is the female of the species—it is the tigress and lioness in you—which tends to defend when attacked.”
—Margaret Thatcher (b. 1925)

“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)

“Death’s a sad bone; bruised, you’d say,

and yet she waits for me, year after year,”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
