More quotes by Marjane Satrapi
My culture comes from everywhere. I'm sick of this notion of nationality, that if you're brought up in the same city or same country you're the same. Even three kids brought up in the same family with the same genes, they are not the same. Just consider a human a human.
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
The first writing of the human being was drawing, not writing.
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.

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 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
One can forgive but one should never forget.
Marjane Satrapi
There are things that I love in Iranian cinema and things that I don't. In Iranian cinema, you have to use metaphor because you are living under a dictatorship.
Marjane Satrapi
We found ourselves veiled and separated from our friends.
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
To speak behind others' backs is the ventilator of the heart.
Marjane Satrapi
Life is too short to be lived badly.
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
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.
