More quotes by Marjane Satrapi

Marjane Satrapi
The information I have about Iran is second hand.
Marjane Satrapi
Image is an international language.
Marjane Satrapi
Start [the movie] in color. Color is always attributed as fun, and black and white is very sad.
Marjane Satrapi
I'm extremely unbearable. You know, I'm narcissistic and at the same time I'm very charming - I think.
Marjane Satrapi
My real background was in art studies. At the beginning I was a painter, then I was this graphic designer, then I became an illustrator, then I was a comic artist. But for me it's a different way of expression, a different field of art. They're not separated everything for me is related.
Marjane Satrapi
Life is too short to be lived badly.
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

Marjane Satrapi
You draw the character from all angles - side, profile, back, etc. so the animator has this character in all the ways it looks like.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't consider myself as a feminist but more a humanist.
Marjane Satrapi
Here's the problem: the description of the world is always reduced to yes or no, black or white. Superficial stories. Superhero stories. One side is the good one. The other one is evil.
Marjane Satrapi
All big changes of the world come from words.
Marjane Satrapi
I had learned that you should always shout louder than your aggressor.
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
Fear has always been the driving force behind all dictators' repression.
Marjane Satrapi
A cat can never be well-trained because they're too independent.
Marjane Satrapi
To speak behind others' backs is the ventilator of the heart.
Marjane Satrapi
I call Iran home because no matter how long I live in France, and despite the fact that I feel also French after all these years, to me the word 'home' has only one meaning: Iran. I suppose it's that way for everyone: Home is the place where one is born and raised.
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.
