00:00So we're here tonight to talk about Irvin's new book, his 13th novel and his 17th work of fiction.
00:07On top of that, he's now a DJ, has his work adapted for radio, TV, film and theatre.
00:14Welsh has produced many imitators but few equals and he has outlasted them all.
00:21I mean Trainspotting's not my best book but it's the one I'll be remembered by, you know what I mean?
00:25Yeah, I never liked it.
00:27The characters that you create are all different aspects of you.
00:31You got off heroin, you got off all the shit but did the writing solve that? Are you happy now?
00:35I'm worried that I'm morphing into one of these writers that I used to detest.
00:40And you are in.
00:46You said when we embarked on this great adventure together that lots of laughter was essential in a relationship.
01:03I always saw life as a big canvas that unfolds and I don't think you should be limited to any
01:07one place.
01:09Life is a dynamic rather than a static process.
01:12When you're young, you feel that life is trying to confine you in some ways.
01:19Increasingly, life seems fractured.
01:23I like to challenge and annoy and disturb and irritate myself in the ring.
01:30I'm more of a warrior than you'll ever be.
01:38You compromise more when you get older. It's not always a good thing.
01:42We are all connected to a greater force.
01:45There's different realities contained within us all.
01:49And writing is a way of finding some of these different realities.
01:53I've got the lead communuses in the end.
01:55There are three levels tussen many people on różne blood cards,
01:59People getting a blood FLID in the heart...
02:01Those ideas would debate this season where WE 애 벌써trained.
02:02Gracias.
