More quotes by Marjane Satrapi
I am very bad at computers. I don't really know how to write email.
Marjane Satrapi
People are so afraid to say the word comic. It makes you think of a grown man with pimples, a ponytail and a big belly. Change it to graphic novel and that disappears.
Marjane Satrapi
Not everybody loves their children. If that was a fact, all the children would be happy and they would make happy adults. Instead, we have lots of miserable children that later became miserable adults. This is a fact. We cannot change that.
Marjane Satrapi
I'm not a religious person at all.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't consider myself as a feminist but more a humanist.
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
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'm extremely unbearable. You know, I'm narcissistic and at the same time I'm very charming - I think.
Marjane Satrapi
Human beings have a lot of problems identifying themselves with other human beings who don't resemble them exactly. But there's something about drawing that means that anyone can identify to a drawing. I mean, people can identify themselves with Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.
Marjane Satrapi
I respect humanity. That's my religion. I can't stand these religions that are really businesses. So much money everywhere that's going to buy a really nice house in heaven - or what? I don't get it.
Marjane Satrapi
We found ourselves veiled and separated from our friends.
Marjane Satrapi
The information I have about Iran is second hand.
Marjane Satrapi
I had so many professions before. I didn't want to do this particularly. It just happened.
Marjane Satrapi
I had learned that you should always shout louder than your aggressor.
Marjane Satrapi
Nothing's worse than saying goodbye. It's a little like dying.
