Marjane Satrapi
If you have a little sensibility or a heart, you have all the reason to be depressed once in a while. But the depression is like a motor for creation. I need a little bit of depression, a bit of acid in my stomach, to be able to create. When I'm happy, I just want to dance.

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
I almost don't know how to write an email.
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
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
I don't consider myself as a feminist but more a humanist.
Marjane Satrapi
Imagine if I cannot stand someone and every day he is here in my face, then I cannot work. Then, the whole time, I am thinking I hate him, I hate him. But if I love him or I love her, then I can do anything, then I am comfortable. That's why it's so important to be surrounded by people that you really like.
