Irvine Welsh
If you have no drugs, then you have revolution, and then drugs will be the only thing stopping that.
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
It was around the summer of 1982 when the drug problem really impacted. It became a lifestyle rather than a recreation. When you start lying and stealing, you cannot con yourself you're in control any more.
Irvine Welsh
I think just getting up and getting to the desk is a big thing. If you can do that, you're in the zone because there're so many distractions that can stop you. From my bedroom to my office isn't really that far, but I have to go via the kitchen and there's so many things that can stop me and interrupt me.
Irvine Welsh
Some people are easier to love when you don't have to be around them.
Irvine Welsh

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
Just lock myself in a room, stop answering emails, stop answering the phone and I come out with something.
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
Sometimes ah think that people become junkies just because they subconsciously crave a wee bit ay silence.
Irvine Welsh
What worries me is the professionalism of everything.
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
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.
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 didn't have any concept of Trainspotting being published. It was a selfish act. I did it for myself.
Irvine Welsh
I tend to read more nonfiction, really, because when I'm writing I don't like to read other fiction.
