More quotes by Shakira
As women, we need to embrace our bodies and be confident with who we are.
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
My music career has been very rewarding, but success never came easily.
Shakira
I admire a person who, for the love of art, is able to take off their clothes in front of a camera. But I'm not capable, I'm too cowardly for that.
Shakira
You want to be skinny and have a good body? You have to work out every day and say no to certain foods.
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
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 can't wait for the time when curves and a little belly fat will be sexy again!
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
Because of you, I'm running out of reasons to cry.
Shakira
There is no other investment that has the kind of social multiplier effect that early education has. It is an incredible thing to nurture and watch grow and spread.
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
We can work together across countries and cultures like never before through the Internet and social media. Everyone can make a difference, whether it is by building a school, sponsoring a child's education, volunteering at their local school, or working to hold leaders accountable for their promises.
Shakira
I have always loved performing.
Shakira
Of course for a Colombian girl it was always impossible to even imagine becoming an international popstar, but my dream became reality.
Shakira
People think I like to expose my body. But I don't. It's just because the dance moves require it.
Shakira
Sensual is everything that refers to the delight of the senses. And that's what artists do, is stimulate the senses in any possible way.
Shakira
Even after I got some recognition and success, I still had to work hard and prove myself.
Shakira
A good fragrance should have a certain personality that makes people identify the scent with you.
Shakira
