Shakira
You can't achieve anything in life without a small amount of sacrifice.
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
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
Live your life to the fullest.
