Image is an international language.
Marjane Satrapi
That's the story of life - when you start enjoying people, it's always too late.
Marjane Satrapi
I almost don't know how to write an email.
Marjane Satrapi
All big changes of the world come from words.
Marjane Satrapi
In any case, it's the cowardice of people like you who give dictators the chance to install themselves!
Marjane Satrapi
I am very bad at computers. I don't really know how to write email.
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
I had two major activities as a child. I was trying to put on shows with kids in my street, or I was drawing. Actually, what I'm doing now is exactly what I was doing then. Either I'm drawing, or I'm gathering people for a common project. The only difference is that now they are paying me for that.
Marjane Satrapi
Life is too short to be lived badly.
Marjane Satrapi
Always keep your dignity and be true to yourself.
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
My culture comes from everywhere. I'm sick of this notion of nationality, that if you're brought up in the same city or same country you're the same. Even three kids brought up in the same family with the same genes, they are not the same. Just consider a human a human.
Marjane Satrapi
Adaptation of books is never a success. When the author wants to make it, it's even worse.
Marjane Satrapi
I'm not somebody that keeps the thing in her heart. I can get very angry for five minutes, but then it's finished. Once I've yelled, it's over.
Marjane Satrapi
People are so afraid to say the word comic. It makes you think of a grown man with pimples, a ponytail and a big belly. Change it to graphic novel and that disappears.
Marjane Satrapi
With animation, if something does not fit, you always have the time to change it. When you make a live-action movie, when your days of shooting are over, they are over forever.
Marjane Satrapi
Drawing - it's the first language of human beings, before writing, before even talking, before words, human beings was drawing.
Marjane Satrapi
I had learned that you should always shout louder than your aggressor.
Marjane Satrapi
Human beings have a lot of problems identifying themselves with other human beings who don't resemble them exactly. But there's something about drawing that means that anyone can identify to a drawing. I mean, people can identify themselves with Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't consider myself as a feminist but more a humanist.
Marjane Satrapi
