I have my dark side. You have your dark side. From the second that we have a brain, there are things that are not right - we are human beings with all these illusions and complexes and everything. That's attractive to me.

More quotes by Marjane Satrapi
Image is an international language.
Marjane Satrapi
I was a child who had a life, who had hopes, and I wished that a bomb would not fall on my head.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't consider myself as a feminist but more a humanist.
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.
Marjane Satrapi
Always keep your dignity and be true to yourself.
Marjane Satrapi
When we're afraid, we lose all sense of analysis and reflection. Our fear paralyzes us. Besides, fear has always been the driving force behind all dictators' repression.
Marjane Satrapi
I had so many professions before. I didn't want to do this particularly. It just happened.
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
I don't want to quit smoking. I am convinced that if I quit smoking, the world would go to hell.
Marjane Satrapi
A well-trained cat doesn't exist because a cat remains a cat.
Marjane Satrapi
In any case, it's the cowardice of people like you who give dictators the chance to install themselves!
Marjane Satrapi
You know, they say in France that translation is like a woman: she is either beautiful or faithful.
Marjane Satrapi
The real war is not between the West and the East. The real war is between intelligent and stupid people.
Marjane Satrapi
Imagine if I cannot stand someone and every day he is here in my face, then I cannot work. Then, the whole time, I am thinking I hate him, I hate him. But if I love him or I love her, then I can do anything, then I am comfortable. That's why it's so important to be surrounded by people that you really like.
Marjane Satrapi
George W.Bush can go and kill thousands of Iraqis every day. By making people believe they are the enemy, and not human beings any more. If evil has an address, a nationality, you can exterminate all of them. This is fascism.
Marjane Satrapi
I had learned that you should always shout louder than your aggressor.
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
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
I'm not a politician. I don't know how to solve the problems of the world. But as an artist, I have one duty: to ask questions.
Marjane Satrapi
The information I have about Iran is second hand.
