“Winning the Pulitzer is a really mellow, fabulous thing. You don't sit and wait for them to open an envelope. You already know you won, and you have a nice lunch. Oscars are more stressful. I had to sit for three hours and wait for my category. I had to fly to Los Angeles. For the Pulitzer I just had to go up to Columbia. But, while the president of Columbia gave me the Pulitzer, Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck gave me the Oscar, so that was better.”
![“All you have to do [to win a Pulitzer Prize] is spend your life running from one awful place to another, write about every horrible thing you see. The civilized world reads about it, then forgets it, but pats you on the head for doing it and gives you a reward as appreciation for changing nothing.” quote by David Baldacci](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/5df/david-baldacci-1558_appreciation_all-you-have-to-do-to-win-a-pulitzer-pri_3158264.jpg)
![“Growing up, I always had my dreams set on being an actor, so I looked up to Julia Roberts, Audrey Hepburn. I also look up to Kate Winslet and Renée [Zellweger] and Cate Blanchett...and Diane Keaton - she's a genius. I think it's very inspiring to see these women attack such complex roles.” quote by Katie Holmes](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/08d/katie-holmes-6657_actors_growing-up-i-always-had-my-dreams-set-on_439630.jpg)
