More quotes by Marjane Satrapi
I like to make mechanical stuff. Once I make a film I have to do whatever I can make onstage I make it onstage.
Marjane Satrapi
Anything that has a relationship with pleasure we reject it. Eating, they talk about cholesterol making love, they talk about Aids you talk about smoking, they talk about cancer. It's a very sick society that rejects pleasure.
Marjane Satrapi
I had so many professions before. I didn't want to do this particularly. It just happened.

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 chose the actors that I was in love with. I cannot work with people that I don't personally like a lot. They can be the best actor in the world, but if the first contact is not good, if I don't fall in love with them, then I don't want to work with them. It's impossible.
Marjane Satrapi
Maybe the biggest problem is that there's no empathy. Nobody puts themselves in the place of others. Everyone thinks they are the only one to suffer. Or that they're the only ones who like ice cream or take their kids on vacation.
Marjane Satrapi
I was a westerner in Iran, an Iranian in the West. I had no identity. I didn't even know anymore why I was living.
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
Today, we don't talk about history. The past is two weeks ago, and the future is two weeks after.
