More quotes by 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.

Irvine Welsh

Irvine Welsh
Just lock myself in a room, stop answering emails, stop answering the phone and I come out with something.
Irvine Welsh
How stagnant and tepid the whole British political scene is now is just beyond belief.
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
How did it make you feel?
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 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
If you have no drugs, then you have revolution, and then drugs will be the only thing stopping that.
Irvine Welsh
[Ecstasy] had its flaws, but again it was shot on a low budget, and they did well. It's not in the same league as Filth.
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
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
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.
