I am absolutely not a feminist, I am against stupidity, and if it comes from males or females, it doesn't change anything. If it means that women and men, they are equal, then OK, certainly I am a feminist.

More quotes by Marjane Satrapi
We found ourselves veiled and separated from our friends.
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
I am very bad at computers. I don't really know how to write email.
Marjane Satrapi
The world is not about Batman and Robin fighting the Joker things are more complicated than that. And nothing is scarier than the people who try to find easy answers to complicated questions.
Marjane Satrapi
I wanted to make a real love story with a bad ending, because a love story that ends good is the life of everyone - you and I, for example. I always say to people, You know, if Romeo and Juliet got married, nobody would care about them. Imagine Romeo and Juliet, six kids yelling, mama, mama, papa, papa.
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
I wanted to do my artistic work, and in Iran you have censorship. It was difficult for me to do the work I wanted to do.
Marjane Satrapi
The first writing of the human being was drawing, not writing.
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
Image is an international language.
Marjane Satrapi
A cat can never be well-trained because they're too independent.
Marjane Satrapi
The way that you remember your life, it's never linear. You have flashes of different moments of your life, and the flashes aren't equal they have different styles.
Marjane Satrapi
Always keep your dignity and be true to yourself.
Marjane Satrapi
Life is too short to be lived badly.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't think of myself as a rebel I just say what I think.
Marjane Satrapi
In a place like Israel, they're very concerned with Iran, so there's a lot of interest. So they want to see what this Iranian from France has to say in her comics. I guess that's good. My the books are coming out in other countries. And each time, they discover something different to be interested in.
Marjane Satrapi
The movie business is not about the money. Of course, you need money to make the movie. If you have a small budget, adapt yourself. Having $200 million dollars doesn't ensure that you're definitely going to make a good movie. There's so many examples that prove that.
Marjane Satrapi
I realized that I was more of a sprinter than a marathon man. With a long, long project, I get bored easily.
Marjane Satrapi
I really didn't know what to think about the veil. Deep down I was very religious but as a family we were very modern and avant-garde. I was born with religion. At the age of six I was already sure I was the last prophet. This was few years before the revolution.
Marjane Satrapi
The best thing I ever did in my life was to ask, 'Do I like everybody?' And the answer was, 'No.' So why should everybody like me? If people are against me, so what? I'm against them too.
