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.

More quotes by Marjane Satrapi
The novels have done so well because the drawings are abstract, black-and-white. This adds to the universality of the story. Persepolis also has dreamlike moments, and the drawings help maintain cohesion and consistency.
Marjane Satrapi
Today, we don't talk about history. The past is two weeks ago, and the future is two weeks after.
Marjane Satrapi
For me, who loves to draw and who loves to write and cannot choose between one or the other, the comic is the best form.
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 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
If today I have to make a political statement, it is, 'I love beauty.' I think beauty makes people better.
Marjane Satrapi
The best thing I ever did in my life was to ask, 'Do I like everybody?' And the answer was, 'No.' So why should everybody like me? If people are against me, so what? I'm against them too.
Marjane Satrapi
I was a westerner in Iran, an Iranian in the West. I had no identity. I didn't even know anymore why I was living.
Marjane Satrapi
I almost don't know how to write an email.
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
To tell you the truth, I never wanted to become a moviemaker. It was like I was a cinepihile, and I go, like, three or four times per week to the cinema, and I like to watch films.
Marjane Satrapi
Nothing's worse than saying goodbye. It's a little like dying.
Marjane Satrapi
To speak behind others' backs is the ventilator of the heart.
Marjane Satrapi
Not everybody loves their children. If that was a fact, all the children would be happy and they would make happy adults. Instead, we have lots of miserable children that later became miserable adults. This is a fact. We cannot change that.
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
It is dangerous when you start calling people from one part of the world terrorists or fanatic, and you reduce them to some abstract notion. If evil has a geographical place, and if the evil has a name, that is the beginning of fascism. Real life is not this way. You have fanatics and narrow-minded people everywhere.
Marjane Satrapi
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.
Marjane Satrapi
Comics are just another medium to express yourself. It's not cinema it's not literature it's just something else. It has a specific requirement, which is that images are used to tell the story. There are lots of crappy movies, with guns and action and Arnold Schwarzenegger or whatever.
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.
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
