More quotes by Irvine Welsh
Now, for the first time, he's seeing that there really is a way out of this, and it's all so simple. You don't have to run away. You just meet somebody special and step sideways into a parallel universe.
Irvine Welsh
What worries me is the professionalism of everything.
Irvine Welsh
I didn't have any concept of Trainspotting being published. It was a selfish act. I did it for myself.
Irvine Welsh
If I stop working and publishing, and TV, and film and all that, I would be dead within a couple of weeks. I don't really have that kind of off-switch.
Irvine Welsh
I feel like I've exhausted guys and male friendships.
Irvine Welsh
[Margaret Thatcher] was the invisible hand behind it. Without that, there'd be no Trainspotting and no Filth.
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
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
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
Now there is apparently a causal link between heroin addiction and vegetarianism.
Irvine Welsh

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
The books that are really valuable are the books that evoke a sense of place.
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
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
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
Some people are easier to love when you don't have to be around them.
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
Everything in the street today seems soft focus.
Irvine Welsh
I can see myself wanting to write a historical novel - you don't need to worry about references to reality TV or pop music, you can just get on with the basics of story and character.
