Shakira

Shakira
I live for freedom, and freedom is a lie.
Shakira
I was unaware of the dispute in Brooklyn. I would never knowingly wear any clothes or support any company who produced clothing with alleged wage and labor violations.
Shakira
I thank God that I'm a product of my parents, that they infected me with their intelligence and energy for life, with their thirst for knowledge and their love. I'm grateful that I know where I come from.
Shakira
I apply the same amount of dedication to being a mom as I do to my music...
Shakira
Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.
Shakira
I'm more afraid of marriage than death.
Shakira
I believe education is the key. As an activist and a child of the developing world, I witnessed education's power to transform lives.
Shakira
