Marjane Satrapi
I'm extremely unbearable. You know, I'm narcissistic and at the same time I'm very charming - I think.
Marjane Satrapi
But violence is news, to a certain extent, and people don't want complicated news. Because as soon as you realize things are complicated, your life becomes more complicated.
Marjane Satrapi
You cannot be completely nice. It's impossible. Who is it? Who is the perfect guy? Show him to me! It doesn't exist. And thank god.
Marjane Satrapi
'The Jungle Book.' It's one of the best animated films ever. I saw it when I was small at a cinema in Tehran.

I don't like 'graphic novel.' It's a word that publishers created for the bourgeois to read comics without feeling bad. Comics is just a way of narrating - it's just a media type.
Marjane Satrapi
The most exciting time is when I think of an idea and how I imagine I can make it. It would be wonderful if there was a projector inside my eye that and it could just put the idea on the screen for people to see.
Marjane Satrapi
When you make a book or you make a movie, it is almost like hitting on somebody. It's not because you want to seduce people that you will seduce them you can hit on somebody and it doesn't work. But when you hit on them and it works, then it's really cool.
Marjane Satrapi
People, they think that animation is a style. Animation is just a technique. It's like, people, they think that comics is a style, like comics is a superhero story. Comic is just a narration, and is a medium, you can say any kind of story in comics and you can say of any kind of story in animation.
Marjane Satrapi
If it's a good work of adaptation, the book should remain a book and the film should remain a film, and you should not necessarily read the book to see the film. If you do need that, then that means that it's a failure. That is what I think.
Marjane Satrapi
I had learned that you should always shout louder than your aggressor.
Marjane Satrapi
I had so many professions before. I didn't want to do this particularly. It just happened.
Marjane Satrapi
You know, the cynicism that is in the politics, it is not for my soul. It makes me - out of me, an extremely bitter, cynical person that I hate to see in the mirror, really.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't watch many comic-book movies. But I loved 'Sin City.'
Marjane Satrapi
It's true that, in Iran, women have half of the rights men do. And yet 66 per cent of students are women.
Marjane Satrapi
Anything that has a relationship with pleasure we reject it. Eating, they talk about cholesterol making love, they talk about Aids you talk about smoking, they talk about cancer. It's a very sick society that rejects pleasure.
Marjane Satrapi
