More quotes by 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
All big changes of the world come from words.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't like the word 'autobiography.' I rather like the term 'autofiction.' The second you make a script out of the story of your life, it becomes fictional. Of course, the truth is never far. But the story is created out of it.
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
The things that I do today are the things I did as a child. When I was a child, either I was drawing or I was taking all the kids off my street and I wanted to make shows - I was all the time making! The only thing is, now I know how to do it better, and now they give me money for it.
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
I have my dark side. You have your dark side. From the second that we have a brain, there are things that are not right - we are human beings with all these illusions and complexes and everything. That's attractive to me.
Marjane Satrapi
It's fear that makes us lose our conscience. It's also what transforms us into cowards.
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 information I have about Iran is second hand.
Marjane Satrapi
I almost don't know how to write an email.
Marjane Satrapi
If today I have to make a political statement, it is, 'I love beauty.' I think beauty makes people better.
Marjane Satrapi
Always keep your dignity and be true to yourself.
Marjane Satrapi
In any case, it's the cowardice of people like you who give dictators the chance to install themselves!
Marjane Satrapi
You know, the cynicism that is in the politics, it is not for my soul. It makes me - out of me, an extremely bitter, cynical person that I hate to see in the mirror, really.
Marjane Satrapi
With live-action I think we'd have lost the universal appeal of the Persepolis story. With live-action, it would have turned into a story of 'the Other' - people living in a distant land who don't look like us. It might have been exotic, but also a Third-World story.
Marjane Satrapi
That's the story of life - when you start enjoying people, it's always too late.
Marjane Satrapi
I'm extremely unbearable. You know, I'm narcissistic and at the same time I'm very charming - I think.
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
