More quotes by Irvine Welsh
Conservatives are giving up on democracy because it's not efficient. They want an autocratic regime.
Irvine Welsh
The celebration of death is not a good thing. Fetishizing death isn't a good thing. You should be celebrating life and enjoying it and all that.
Irvine Welsh
I feel like I've exhausted guys and male friendships.
Irvine Welsh
You write people as human beings first and then the gender specific stuff second.

Irvine Welsh
In civic life, I think that's where you can debate what is good taste and what is acceptable to other people, and what's gonna offend people. Do that there, but leave it out of art, because art is the one frontier that shouldn't have restraints put on it.
Irvine Welsh
The inspiration can come in such small ways that if you sit there just waiting for the big epiphany you'll sit there for the rest of your life.
Irvine Welsh
When you're in your twenties, it's the last time you have the chance to experiment with multiple identities, to decide who you're going to be in life.
Irvine Welsh
There's all this stuff that is happening in Edinburgh now, it's a sad attempt to create an Edinburgh society, similar to a London society, a highbrow literature celebrity society.
Irvine Welsh
Nothing is covered adequately by the BBC. The BBC has become the biggest disappointment - they're just so terrified. And in a way it's not their fault: the parties have used them as a political football.
Irvine Welsh
When I go to places and do book tours, I don't really like doing traditional bookshops. It's nice to walk people through something instead of just standing up in a bookstore.
Irvine Welsh
What worries me is the professionalism of everything.
Irvine Welsh
There's nothing worse than a violent beating from an unremarkable person. Physical violence with someone is too much like shagging them. Too much id involved.
