More quotes by 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
My dad is a writer, and to see him always in front of a typewriter gave me the inspiration to write. He was my idol, my hero. I wanted to be just like him.
Shakira
I think this generation can play a very important role. If we act now, this could be the first generation to witness universal education.
Shakira
I'm like a mosquito, I love humidity. I don't sweat.
Shakira
I consider myself a laborer, building my career brick over brick under the sun.
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
I've met dedicated people from all sectors of society who are committed to giving children the tools they need for a better future. I'm always impressed by the passionate young leaders I meet. As the pace of change accelerates, so do the challenges we face. However, the chances to solve them increase too.
Shakira
I have such a respect and fascination for dance. I can be light as air or stay grounded. Dance is really another universe.
Shakira
I think it's my energy and love of life that has been the real key to my fame and success.
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
Becoming a mother has taught me to simply things and also to appreciate being at home more.
Shakira
You're a song written by the hands of God.
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
I think my dad is the only Arabic descendent who is an unsuccessful businessman.
Shakira
It doesn't matter if you are a musician, a business leader, a president or a student. We all have a responsibility to give back.
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
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
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
I live for freedom, and freedom is a lie.
Shakira
I just want to grow old with a man who takes care of me, and I want to eventually have kids and want them to be good children to me. Just want to be treated nice and have respect.
Shakira
