More quotes by Marjane Satrapi
My real background was in art studies. At the beginning I was a painter, then I was this graphic designer, then I became an illustrator, then I was a comic artist. But for me it's a different way of expression, a different field of art. They're not separated everything for me is related.
Marjane Satrapi
One can forgive but one should never forget.
Marjane Satrapi
Life is too short to be lived badly.
Marjane Satrapi
If you know a little bit the psychology of human beings, you have to understand that if you say something you should not do, then everybody wants to do it.
Marjane Satrapi
I never wanted to make a graphic novel. As soon as you become a 'writer,' you have to be intelligent all the time... I like the fact that I have the right once in a while to say silly things.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't believe in the clash of cultures. The culture is one. The culture is a ring off the same chain. Picasso was very much influenced by the African arts, and he influenced a whole other generation of artists. So everything influences everything.
Marjane Satrapi
America is a very special place. In this country, you have the best and the worst at the same time. Whatever you can imagine.
Marjane Satrapi
I'm very open and never write what I'm going to say. Speeches bore everybody else. I have to freestyle. Every time, from one program to another, everything changes and I improvise.
Marjane Satrapi
You know, they say in France that translation is like a woman: she is either beautiful or faithful.
Marjane Satrapi
I had learned that you should always shout louder than your aggressor.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't think of myself as a rebel I just say what I think.
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
I'm extremely unbearable. You know, I'm narcissistic and at the same time I'm very charming - I think.
Marjane Satrapi
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
A Muslim fanatic and a Christian fanatic, a Jewish fanatic, a secular fanatic, an atheist fanatic, a communist fanatic - all of them are the same. The thinking that, 'If you don't think like me, that if you are not with me, then you are against me' this is something to condemn.
Marjane Satrapi
I loved Chiara Mastroianni voice, her talent, her generosity. We rehearsed for two months...She's a workaholic and perfectionist, like Vincent [Paronnaud] and myself.
Marjane Satrapi
If you have a little sensibility or a heart, you have all the reason to be depressed once in a while. But the depression is like a motor for creation. I need a little bit of depression, a bit of acid in my stomach, to be able to create. When I'm happy, I just want to dance.
Marjane Satrapi
A cat can never be well-trained because they're too independent.
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
The real war is not between the West and the East. The real war is between intelligent and stupid people.
Marjane Satrapi
