More quotes by 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 live for freedom, and freedom is a lie.
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
I'm not a trained dancer, but I grew up in a culture that revolves around dance.
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 have always loved performing.
Shakira
I'm Colombian and nothing will change that.
Shakira
I'm like a mosquito, I love humidity. I don't sweat.
Shakira
You collect impressions from people, from life, from your own daydreams.
Shakira

Shakira
A good fragrance should have a certain personality that makes people identify the scent with you.

Shakira
My main hope for my children would be that whatever profession or calling they choose in life, that they pursue it with passion.

Shakira
People think I like to expose my body. But I don't. It's just because the dance moves require it.
Shakira
They just want to continue playing their little game of power. And I feel that us people have the responsibility and also the obligation to demand to our leaders to give us the pacifist solutions. To give us a world in peace.
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'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
You're a song written by the hands of God.
Shakira
Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.
