More quotes by Shakira
You collect impressions from people, from life, from your own daydreams.
Shakira
For several years I worried a lot about protecting an image, but today, I have understood that the image cannot be preconceived.
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
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
My man prefers meat over the bone.
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
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
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
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
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
I think it's my energy and love of life that has been the real key to my fame and success.
Shakira
I'm more afraid of marriage than death.
Shakira
I'm lucky to have family around me. Otherwise, I'll be taking the risk of falling in love with myself.
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
Women should feel happy with their bodies and not live with the stigma that comes from not looking like models in fashion magazines.
Shakira
Barcelona is a great city and Spain is a great country to live in.
Shakira
Walking gets too boring, when you learn how to fly.
Shakira
Even after I got some recognition and success, I still had to work hard and prove myself.
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
We have to demand that governments live up to their promises and make education a reality for every child.
Shakira
