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.

More quotes by 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
My man prefers meat over the bone.
Shakira
I can't wait for the time when curves and a little belly fat will be sexy again!
Shakira
You collect impressions from people, from life, from your own daydreams.
Shakira
The goal of my philanthropic work has always been to make sure that every child has a chance to live up to his or her potential. That means our work won't be done until every child has access to quality education from early childhood to adulthood.
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 am trying to make my accent so it won't bother anyone, but I am not going to drive myself crazy trying to pretend I am an American girl when I am from Colombia.
Shakira
I think it's my energy and love of life that has been the real key to my fame and success.
Shakira
I consider myself a laborer, building my career brick over brick under the sun.
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
At the current pace of change, we won't have universal access to education in 100 years, let alone five, and that is unacceptable.
Shakira
Walking gets too boring, when you learn how to fly.
Shakira
I always believed that women have rights and that there are some women that are intelligent enough to claim those rights. There are some others that are stupid enough not to.
Shakira
I never went to the gym before in my life. But, at 32, I notice that my body responds negatively to bad food, so I must make double the effort.
Shakira
Even after I got some recognition and success, I still had to work hard and prove myself.
Shakira
Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.
Shakira
I don't go out without make up. I'm a woman, you know.
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
We have to demand that governments live up to their promises and make education a reality for every child.
Shakira
I'm more afraid of marriage than death.
Shakira
