Marjane Satrapi : (4) " As a director, you have to understand what is happening – if I don’t understand it, you can’t make changes. " - 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 " If the majority of people were right, we’d be living in paradise. But we are not living in paradise, we are living in hell. What does it mean? That means the majority of people are wrong. So I never believed what people told me. " - Marjane Satrapi " I’m not a politician. I don’t know how to solve the problems of the world. But as an artist, I have one duty: to ask questions. " - Marjane Satrapi
