More quotes by Marjane Satrapi
I had so many professions before. I didn't want to do this particularly. It just happened.
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
If it's a good work of adaptation, the book should remain a book and the film should remain a film, and you should not necessarily read the book to see the film. If you do need that, then that means that it's a failure. That is what I think.
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
A well-trained cat doesn't exist because a cat remains a cat.
Marjane Satrapi
It is dangerous when you start calling people from one part of the world terrorists or fanatic, and you reduce them to some abstract notion. If evil has a geographical place, and if the evil has a name, that is the beginning of fascism. Real life is not this way. You have fanatics and narrow-minded people everywhere.
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
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
Hunger eats civilization. The West is not hungry that's why they can say they're so civilized. Civilization is the biggest bluff!
Marjane Satrapi
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.
Marjane Satrapi
Today, we don't talk about history. The past is two weeks ago, and the future is two weeks after.
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
I don't watch many comic-book movies. But I loved 'Sin City.'
Marjane Satrapi
I had learned that you should always shout louder than your aggressor.
Marjane Satrapi
Always keep your dignity and be true to yourself.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't think of myself as a rebel I just say what I think.
Marjane Satrapi
I almost don't know how to write an email.
Marjane Satrapi
Here [in the USA], you have the best laws for freedom of expression. The problem is that expression can be bought by people who don't want you have it. Apparently, true patriotism destroys freedom of expression.
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 real war is not between the West and the East. The real war is between intelligent and stupid people.
Marjane Satrapi
