Hello from the Philippines, Mr. Welsh! I’ve been a huge fan since high school and your work has deeply influenced me. I’m kind of freaking out right now. My questions are:

  1. Simple one first: What are your favourite films?
  2. Do you think the meaning of 'choosing life' has changed from when you wrote Trainspotting to now? How do you think it has?
  3. You have the ability to talk to your 21-year-old self. What do you say?

Thank you greatly for this AMA! I hope this finds yeh well!

Hello from the Philippines Andrea! Firstly, I want to let you know that your words have moved and inspired me so much that I can never thank you enough for your talent and bravery. It's been years, but your work continues to be a refuge.

My questions for you:

  1. Everyone struggles with doubt, insecurity and loneliness and this often gets in the way with how they build relationships with people. What words or advice do you have for people who really struggle with dealing with these things?
  2. If the world was going to end in 24 hours, how would you spend it?
  3. If you could talk to your 21-year-old self, what would you say?

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this AMA. Please keep doing what you do. :)

Okay Mindy, real talk. I feel like you'd be one of the best people to talk to about this:

I think a lot of women have that weird mindset that makes them compete and hate other women. Not even just in terms of career, but in all things really. There's a toxic, snippy, catty thing that I can't seem to run from. So how do you deal with that mindset from others? And how do you get rid of it when you feel it yourself?

Hi Gordon! I believe that in some other universe, we're married and you are cooking for me forever.

My question: What is your favourite non-gourmet, regular-person, store-bought comfort food? (Pop tarts, twinkles, KFC chicken etc)
