I trust to luck. I am planning to be a millionaire before I die but I don't have a plan as to how that will happen.

My father's example taught me self-reliance, to make my own luck, and to work to make things happen.

I'm wary of the new contactless ways of paying. The idea of paying with your phone is a little worrying: I have lost more than one over the years.

My wife has always supported me in my career, even when there were times when it was more sensible to get a job. It has been her confidence in me that has helped enormously.

It took me a while to get established - success didn't happen overnight.

I want to look beyond the legends, to find the real story of Scotland. And it's every bit as thrilling.

I have always been quite careful when I have been approached to do a television project to have the option of writing the accompanying book.
