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
Life is too short to be lived badly.
Marjane Satrapi

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
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
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
Nothing's worse than saying goodbye. It's a little like dying.
Marjane Satrapi
'The Jungle Book.' It's one of the best animated films ever. I saw it when I was small at a cinema in Tehran.
Marjane Satrapi
