Here [in the USA], you have the best laws for freedom of expression. The problem is that expression can be bought by people who don't want you have it. Apparently, true patriotism destroys freedom of expression.

More quotes by Marjane Satrapi
The things that I do today are the things I did as a child. When I was a child, either I was drawing or I was taking all the kids off my street and I wanted to make shows - I was all the time making! The only thing is, now I know how to do it better, and now they give me money for it.
Marjane Satrapi
We found ourselves veiled and separated from our friends.
Marjane Satrapi
You cannot be completely nice. It's impossible. Who is it? Who is the perfect guy? Show him to me! It doesn't exist. And thank god.
Marjane Satrapi
In any case, it's the cowardice of people like you who give dictators the chance to install themselves!
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
I'm not a religious person at all.
Marjane Satrapi
That's the story of life - when you start enjoying people, it's always too late.
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
George W.Bush can go and kill thousands of Iraqis every day. By making people believe they are the enemy, and not human beings any more. If evil has an address, a nationality, you can exterminate all of them. This is fascism.
Marjane Satrapi
Today, we don't talk about history. The past is two weeks ago, and the future is two weeks after.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't consider myself as a feminist but more a humanist.
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
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
I had so many professions before. I didn't want to do this particularly. It just happened.
Marjane Satrapi
I realized that I was more of a sprinter than a marathon man. With a long, long project, I get bored easily.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't want to quit smoking. I am convinced that if I quit smoking, the world would go to hell.
Marjane Satrapi
Start [the movie] in color. Color is always attributed as fun, and black and white is very sad.
Marjane Satrapi
I'm extremely unbearable. You know, I'm narcissistic and at the same time I'm very charming - I think.
Marjane Satrapi
The movie business is not about the money. Of course, you need money to make the movie. If you have a small budget, adapt yourself. Having $200 million dollars doesn't ensure that you're definitely going to make a good movie. There's so many examples that prove that.
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.
