More quotes by 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
People think I like to expose my body. But I don't. It's just because the dance moves require it.
Shakira
You can't achieve anything in life without a small amount of sacrifice.
Shakira
Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.
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 think it's my energy and love of life that has been the real key to my fame and success.
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
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
You collect impressions from people, from life, from your own daydreams.
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
I apply the same amount of dedication to being a mom as I do to my music...
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 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
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
By giving every child a fair start, we are improving our collective future, including the private sector's ability to find talent in a very competitive global marketplace.
Shakira
My man prefers meat over the bone.
Shakira
Live your life to the fullest.
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
Walking gets too boring, when you learn how to fly.
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
