"It took me a while to let my hair down in the business because I was kind of a shy person. I was from New York and never really felt at ease in Hollywood. I don't really now either but I don't care, it's not important that I do. Filmmakers find me or I find them."

Image is from the 1960 Grand Prix of Monaco showing a red Ferrari turning around a corner and a smaller dark green car closely behind.
Phil Hill's Ferrari D246 leads the Cooper-Climax of Bruce McLaren at the Grand Prix of Monaco, 29 May 1960. The days were numbered for the front-engined cars and Hill would do well to finish third behind Stirling Moss and McLaren.
