More quotes by 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
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
To speak behind others' backs is the ventilator of the heart.
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
When we're afraid, we lose all sense of analysis and reflection. Our fear paralyzes us. Besides, fear has always been the driving force behind all dictators' repression.
Marjane Satrapi
I call Iran home because no matter how long I live in France, and despite the fact that I feel also French after all these years, to me the word 'home' has only one meaning: Iran. I suppose it's that way for everyone: Home is the place where one is born and raised.
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
Maybe the biggest problem is that there's no empathy. Nobody puts themselves in the place of others. Everyone thinks they are the only one to suffer. Or that they're the only ones who like ice cream or take their kids on vacation.
Marjane Satrapi
I don't like 'graphic novel.' It's a word that publishers created for the bourgeois to read comics without feeling bad. Comics is just a way of narrating - it's just a media type.
Marjane Satrapi
A cat can never be well-trained because they're too independent.
Marjane Satrapi
One can forgive but one should never forget.
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
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 don't believe in the clash of cultures. The culture is one. The culture is a ring off the same chain. Picasso was very much influenced by the African arts, and he influenced a whole other generation of artists. So everything influences everything.
Marjane Satrapi
I had learned that you should always shout louder than your aggressor.
Marjane Satrapi
I'm not a religious person at all.
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
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
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.
