More quotes by Marjane Satrapi
Hunger eats civilization. The West is not hungry that's why they can say they're so civilized. Civilization is the biggest bluff!
Marjane Satrapi
People, they think that animation is a style. Animation is just a technique. It's like, people, they think that comics is a style, like comics is a superhero story. Comic is just a narration, and is a medium, you can say any kind of story in comics and you can say of any kind of story in animation.
Marjane Satrapi
I wanted to do my artistic work, and in Iran you have censorship. It was difficult for me to do the work I wanted to do.
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
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.

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
Fear has always been the driving force behind all dictators' repression.
Marjane Satrapi
Start [the movie] in color. Color is always attributed as fun, and black and white is very sad.
Marjane Satrapi
Here's the problem: the description of the world is always reduced to yes or no, black or white. Superficial stories. Superhero stories. One side is the good one. The other one is evil.
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
In any case, it's the cowardice of people like you who give dictators the chance to install themselves!
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
A Muslim fanatic and a Christian fanatic, a Jewish fanatic, a secular fanatic, an atheist fanatic, a communist fanatic - all of them are the same. The thinking that, 'If you don't think like me, that if you are not with me, then you are against me' this is something to condemn.
Marjane Satrapi
I had so many professions before. I didn't want to do this particularly. It just happened.
Marjane Satrapi
I had this fantasy that in a democracy the government was the population. So I came to America and got a big slap in my face... Americans were not what I thought. I thought I was going to see bastards and I saw nice people, very friendly to me.
