Death, torture and prison are part of daily life for the youth of Iran. They are not like us, my friends and I at their age; they are not scared. They are not what we were. They hold hands and scream: โDonโt be afraid! Donโt be afraid! We are together!โ They understand that no one will give them their rights; they must go get them.
Marjane SatrapiI'm very open and never write what I'm going to say. Speeches bore everybody else. I have to freestyle. Every time, from one program to another, everything changes and I improvise.
