More quotes by Shakira
I can't wait for the time when curves and a little belly fat will be sexy again!
Shakira
Education is literally the difference between success and failure, or even life and death for many children.
Shakira
Europe is a very different place from my native country of Colombia and my children are growing up in a very urban setting which is nothing like when I was growing up and would be able to play barefoot in the street. But we have a very good life.
Shakira
Nationalism is cured by traveling.
Shakira
By giving every child a fair start, we are improving our collective future, including the private sector's ability to find talent in a very competitive global marketplace.
Shakira
Of course for a Colombian girl it was always impossible to even imagine becoming an international popstar, but my dream became reality.
Shakira
Obviously, our business leaders yield enormous influence on our political leaders, and they have a duty to use that influence for the greater good. But beyond that, the private sector depends on having healthy, educated and productive workers.
Shakira
You can't achieve anything in life without a small amount of sacrifice.
Shakira
You're a song written by the hands of God.
Shakira
I don't go out without make up. I'm a woman, you know.
Shakira
Becoming a mother has taught me to simply things and also to appreciate being at home more.
Shakira
I'm lucky to have family around me. Otherwise, I'll be taking the risk of falling in love with myself. But there are always people close to me who I trust, who will scold me and pull my ears if I need it. Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.
Shakira
Writing in English was a major challenge. I didn't want other songwriters to write for me. I wanted to preserve the spirit of my songs in Spanish. I am the same Shakira in English as I am in Spanish.
Shakira
My team and I have reunited two elements that coexist with difficulty: respect and affection, because when they love you they don't respect you and when they respect you they don't love you.
Shakira
Sexy is good as long as it's not the main recipe. It's an ingredient. I would not appear in a leotard in a video if I [did] not have other dimensions.
Shakira
I started the Pies Descalzos foundation in Colombia when I was 18, and since then I have been very involved in the crusade for education.
Shakira
I live for freedom, and freedom is a lie.
Shakira
The music, of course, is important, but it's the energy that I bring to it that I think the public appreciate the most.
Shakira
I think my dad is the only Arabic descendent who is an unsuccessful businessman.
Shakira
I'm not a trained dancer, but I grew up in a culture that revolves around dance.
Shakira
