I Wanted To Do My Artistic Work,

My Culture Comes From Everywhere. I'm Sick Of This Notion Of Nationality, That If You're Brought Up In The Same City Or Same Country You're The Same. Even Three Kids Brought Up In The Same Family With The Same Genes, They Are Not The Same. Just Consider A Human A Human.

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.

The First Writing Of The Human Being Was Drawing, Not Writing.

That's The Story Of Life - When You Start Enjoying People, It's Always Too Late.

I Don't Make A Career Plan. I Take Things The Way They Come.
