We live in a homogenized world, where it's hard to get excited when everything is slick and professional. The interesting things are the dull things.

I pride myself in being an aficionado of the British seaside. Throughout my career, I have visited and worked in many of the famous British resorts, from Great Yarmouth to Largs.

Wealthy people have not disappeared, they are just not so willing to show off their wealth.

I photograph wealth.

I get inspiration from all kinds of things: I can get it from hanging out with my son, from hanging out with my wife, from checking out different artists, from hearing something at a party.

It is time we in Scotland put England in its proper place and instead of our leaning on England and taking inspiration from her, we should lean and turn to Europe, for it is there our future prosperity lies.

In life, an abundance of confidence gives us higher motivation, persistence, and optimism and can allow us to accomplish things we otherwise might not have undertaken.

I truly believe motivation is internal, but there are so many things that happen externally, and it's hard to not pick that up as motivation.
