More quotes by Irvine Welsh
I grew up in a place where everybody was a storyteller, but nobody wrote. It was that kind of Celtic, storytelling tradition: everybody would have a story at the pub or at parties, even at the clubs and raves.
Irvine Welsh
I don't think that the Scots are happy to drift into Britain becoming the poorest of the poor, sub-American 51st state.
Irvine Welsh
Chicago is seen as everything that Trump detests, which I think kind of reflects really well on the city I think, because it's a mark of what a classy, cool, sort of place it is. You can't tame everyone in America, as much as these people would like to, into some kind of small-town, Southern community.
Irvine Welsh
I've always got a book in my hands, a novel in my hands. The more I get into film, the more paranoid I get that I'm going to stop seeing things.
Irvine Welsh
I think UKIP [ UK Independence Party] and the BNP [British National Party] are very, very English concerns. If they gather strength they're going to add to this schism between Scotland and England.
Irvine Welsh
Ah wonder if anybody this side of the Atlantic has ever bought a baseball bat with playing baseball in mind.
Irvine Welsh
How did it make you feel?
Irvine Welsh
I think there is a natural thing that you feel when you've written something taboo because you just don't want to expose the people you're close to.
Irvine Welsh
When I first started to get into writing, it was via music. I'd generate ideas for songs that would turn into stories, then they'd turn into novels. I was biased toward music.
Irvine Welsh
Everything in the street today seems soft focus.
Irvine Welsh
It's all been quite a revitalizing process for me, being out there in the States. It wouldn't have happened without Trainspotting.
Irvine Welsh
How stagnant and tepid the whole British political scene is now is just beyond belief.
Irvine Welsh
The first job of a writer is to be honest.
Irvine Welsh
In the cross-over, you get to a point where you realize that you've got all this genetic inheritance, and you've got all this social conditioning, but there is a point where you do have to make a choice, and that's the optimist in me: you have the freedom to make a choice about how you are going to be, and what you're going to do.
Irvine Welsh
Thoughts jostled for space in my crowded brain as I struggled to give them some order which might serve to motivate my listless life
Irvine Welsh
But even Es and cocaine, over the years they blow holes in your brain, rob you of your memories, your past. Which is fair enough, convenient even.
Irvine Welsh
If you have no drugs, then you have revolution, and then drugs will be the only thing stopping that.
Irvine Welsh
I love doubt in a woman. It's nearly as sexy as determination.
Irvine Welsh
I didn't have any concept of Trainspotting being published. It was a selfish act. I did it for myself.
Irvine Welsh
Bruce, you’re an ugly and silly old man. You’re very possibly an alcoholic and God knows what else. You’re the type of sad case who preys on vulnerable, weak and stupid women in order to boost his own shattered ego. You’re a mess. You’ve gone wrong somewhere pal.
Irvine Welsh
