When I broke in, in 1957, it was wide open. Now you're up against strong competition.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Just because I won the U.S. Open doesn't mean I'm going to change the way I live.
As a girl growing up in Cyprus, Saudi Arabia and then India, the idea of cracking the industry in America seemed crazy. So thankfully, the way I was raised was to be an open person.
The biggest break in my career was getting into the Beatles in 1962. The second biggest break since then is getting out of them.
I don't think I have had a big break, although joining the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1986 opened up new horizons.
Open is something, I think, that will continue to drive a lot of innovation.
It's tough to break into this business - now more so than ever.
I thrive in competitive environments. I've never been in a monopoly.
The first big break was winning a scholarship to go to Cambridge University. I was very lucky, because my parents couldn't have afforded a university education for me. Without a scholarship I couldn't possibly have gone.
Two things I'm trying to work on are openness and flexibility.
You can't open anything after your 50. You have to wait 'til people stop by the house. 'Oh my God, I'm glad you're here.'
