More quotes by Irvine Welsh
Now there is apparently a causal link between heroin addiction and vegetarianism.
Irvine Welsh
Most people in the West are not politicized. They're the most simplistic consumers - they're animals, basically.
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
How stagnant and tepid the whole British political scene is now is just beyond belief.
Irvine Welsh
If you continue to transfer the wealth of the population of the planet to a very small amount of people, it becomes untenable at some point, a democracy, because people eventually will realize what's going on. You can only bulls - t people through kinds of media outlets for so long, and eventually you have to physically control them.
Irvine Welsh
Most people with good jobs, middle-class occupations, what have you, are only one pitfall away from social embarrassment and destitution. It's so precarious. Even salaried people in the West now feel this sense of being trapped, not having the freedom to strike out.
Irvine Welsh
It's only now that I realize that behaviour always has a context and precedents, it's what you do rather than what you are, although we often never recognise that context or understand what these precedents are.
Irvine Welsh
I love doubt in a woman. It's nearly as sexy as determination.
Irvine Welsh
If there's very strong civic unrest you can see a strong party of the Right emerging, whether it's UKIP [The UK Independence Party] or an even further-right party.
Irvine Welsh
I'm not running away, I'm moving on.
Irvine Welsh
[Margaret Thatcher] was the invisible hand behind it. Without that, there'd be no Trainspotting and no Filth.
Irvine Welsh
It's crazy for somebody who's kind of empowered and wealthy like myself to say, Oh, I don't need to be patronized by the state, I can make my own choices. But I've got things to look forward to, and places to go and if that'd been me there forty years ago, when I was a young kid in Muirhouse, it might've been a different story.
Irvine Welsh
I'm quite comfortable now with being misunderstood. I don't really feel the need either to pander to it or to refute it. Just go on, and do what I've got to do.
Irvine Welsh
Choose life … I chose not to choose life. I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you’ve got heroin?
Irvine Welsh
I think of the women I know, and very few of them are obsessed with shopping, or with getting a guy - they want their own thing, they have their own network going on.
Irvine Welsh
How many shots does it take before the concept ay choice becomes obsolete?
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
What worries me is the professionalism of everything.
Irvine Welsh
When I started off with Trainspotting, it was the way the characters came to me. That's how they sounded to me. It seemed pretentious to sound any other way. I wasn't making any kind of political statement.
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
