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.

Even though my life has been played out in the media because I am a Biden, my father never once suggested that the family's public profile should be my priority.

Writers on etiquette receive a continuous flow of questions on subjects such as 'When is it too early in the season to wear white accessories?' and 'What is the proper gift to send to a family in mourning?'

Imagine your family finally making it from nothing to something, and finally getting things going, and finally buying a beautiful house and taking care of your children - and the next day, it's completely all gone. Zero. Boom. Flat broke. So that's when I had to man up.

I know, as a mother, it hurts you very much to see your children suffer.
