“It's not like since I make comics I only read comics and since I make movies I will only go out and watch movies. Any kind of artistic expression interests me; it goes from literature to music to sculpture, painting; whatever is extremely inspiring for me becomes a reference also for me.”

“Anything that has a relationship with pleasure, we reject it. Eating, they talk about cholesterol; making love, they talk about AIDS; you talk about smoking, they talk about cancer. It's a very sick society that rejects pleasure.”
Marjane Satrapi“I like to be sad once in a while. You need it for your equilibrium.”
Marjane Satrapi“Cinema is a world of imagination.”

Marjane Satrapi“All this misjudgment that we have of each other is based on ignorance. The second you get to travel, you see that human beings, no matter where they come from, they are the same.”
Marjane Satrapi“If people are given the chance to experience life in more than one country, they will hate a little less. It's not a miracle potion, but little by little you can solve problems in the basement of a country, not on the surface.”
Marjane Satrapi“I am very bad at computers. I don't really know how to write email.”
Marjane Satrapi“When you make a book or you make a movie, it is almost like hitting on somebody. It's not because you want to seduce people that you will seduce them; you can hit on somebody and it doesn't work. But when you hit on them and it works, then it's really cool.”
Marjane Satrapi“If it's a good work of adaptation, the book should remain a book and the film should remain a film, and you should not necessarily read the book to see the film. If you do need that, then that means that it's a failure. That is what I think.”
Marjane Satrapi“The real war is not between the West and the East. The real war is between intelligent and stupid people.”
