More quotes by Marjane Satrapi
I almost don't know how to write an email.
Marjane Satrapi
But violence is news, to a certain extent, and people don't want complicated news. Because as soon as you realize things are complicated, your life becomes more complicated.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't watch many comic-book movies. But I loved 'Sin City.'
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
I am very bad at computers. I don't really know how to write email.
Marjane Satrapi
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'm extremely unbearable. You know, I'm narcissistic and at the same time I'm very charming - I think.

Marjane Satrapi
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 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
One can forgive but one should never forget.
Marjane Satrapi
Life is too short to be lived badly.
Marjane Satrapi
To tell you the truth, I never wanted to become a moviemaker. It was like I was a cinepihile, and I go, like, three or four times per week to the cinema, and I like to watch films.
Marjane Satrapi
You cannot be completely nice. It's impossible. Who is it? Who is the perfect guy? Show him to me! It doesn't exist. And thank god.
Marjane Satrapi
George W.Bush can go and kill thousands of Iraqis every day. By making people believe they are the enemy, and not human beings any more. If evil has an address, a nationality, you can exterminate all of them. This is fascism.
Marjane Satrapi
I had so many professions before. I didn't want to do this particularly. It just happened.
Marjane Satrapi
Culture and education are the lethal weapons against all kinds of fundamentalism.
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
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.
