More quotes by Irvine Welsh
I think [Ecstasy] was a really good stab. It wasn't my strongest book or my strongest material, but they wanted to make a kinda rave culture movie.
Irvine Welsh
I think young writers should get other degrees first, social sciences, arts degrees or even business degrees. What you learn is research skills, a necessity because a lot of writing is about trying to find information.
Irvine Welsh
You have to let people express themselves in the way that they need to express themselves. You have to express yourself in any way possible, provided you're prepared to live with the consequences.
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
Some people are easier to love when you don't have to be around them.

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

Irvine Welsh
In America, we've got to get back to these base principles of what democracy is.
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
It's hard to maintain both smack and crack habbits and remember to keep up mobile-phone payments.
Irvine Welsh
Love does not exist, it's like religion, the state wants you to believe in that kind of crap so they can control you, and f**k your head up.
Irvine Welsh
Thir must be less tae life than this
Irvine Welsh
Most people in the West are not politicized. They're the most simplistic consumers - they're animals, basically.
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
The books that are really valuable are the books that evoke a sense of place.
Irvine Welsh
I tend to read more nonfiction, really, because when I'm writing I don't like to read other fiction.
Irvine Welsh
In some ways, you can say that at any time in any writer's career: 'He might have run out of ideas.'
