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.

More quotes by Marjane Satrapi
You know, they say in France that translation is like a woman: she is either beautiful or faithful.

The real war is not between the West and the East. The real war is between intelligent and stupid people.
Marjane Satrapi
The information I have about Iran is second hand.

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.

That's the story of life - when you start enjoying people, it's always too late.

Adaptation of books is never a success. When the author wants to make it, it's even worse.
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 wanted to make a real love story with a bad ending, because a love story that ends good is the life of everyone - you and I, for example. I always say to people, You know, if Romeo and Juliet got married, nobody would care about them. Imagine Romeo and Juliet, six kids yelling, mama, mama, papa, papa.
Marjane Satrapi
Fear has always been the driving force behind all dictators' repression.
Marjane Satrapi
The first writing of the human being was drawing, not writing.
Marjane Satrapi
I'm not a religious person at all.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't like 'graphic novel.' It's a word that publishers created for the bourgeois to read comics without feeling bad. Comics is just a way of narrating - it's just a media type.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't think of myself as a rebel I just say what I think.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't want to quit smoking. I am convinced that if I quit smoking, the world would go to hell.
