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.

I'd always liked to read, but when I picked up books I wasn't getting the same kind of excitement from them that I was from going out clubbing. I wanted to get the same kind of feel.

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

Most people in the West are not politicized. They're the most simplistic consumers - they're animals, basically.

How stagnant and tepid the whole British political scene is now is just beyond belief.

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

I didn't have any concept of Trainspotting being published. It was a selfish act. I did it for myself.
