Smash together the Grammys, Oscars, Emmys, and Tonys, and you get the Green Room at the Kennedy Center Honors.

In over thirty years working in TV and movies, I've never had an exit interview or contributed to a 360 assessment.

The Pulitzer Prize was established when Joseph Pulitzer died in 1911, leaving a bequest to create the eponymous award. An immigrant from Hungary, Pulitzer struck it rich by combining the 'St. Louis Post' and the 'St. Louis Dispatch' to make the - wait for it - 'St. Louis Post-Dispatch.'

The Kennedy Center Honors reflects our humanity and higher purpose. We are a great nation, in part, because we value culture.

By its very nature, no one person can ever be the center of jazz.

I think when I started acting, the whole time I was working towards one day coming to America. Hollywood, in particular, is seen to be the center of this industry, and I was just waiting for the right time to come.

I don't really consider myself a center.
