Shakira
I can't wait for the time when curves and a little belly fat will be sexy again!
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

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
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
A good fragrance should have a certain personality that makes people identify the scent with you.
Shakira
The music, of course, is important, but it's the energy that I bring to it that I think the public appreciate the most.
Shakira
I consider myself a laborer, building my career brick over brick under the sun.
Shakira
My man prefers meat over the bone.
Shakira
I think this generation can play a very important role. If we act now, this could be the first generation to witness universal education.
Shakira
Live your life to the fullest.
Shakira
