To this day I can't believe those stuffy Pulitzer people would settle on me. But it sort of gives you a certain authority. My name is now always preceded by "Pulitzer Prize-winning composer."... So if I die in a whorehouse, at least the obit will say, "Pulitzer Prize-Winning Composer Ned Rorem Dies in Whorehouse." (en)
