I never went to the gym before in my life. But, at 32, I notice that my body responds negatively to bad food, so I must make double the effort.

More quotes by Shakira
I'm not a trained dancer, but I grew up in a culture that revolves around dance.
Shakira
I don't go out without make up. I'm a woman, you know.
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
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
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
Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.
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
My dad is a writer, and to see him always in front of a typewriter gave me the inspiration to write. He was my idol, my hero. I wanted to be just like him.
Shakira
It doesn't bother me to talk about my private life, it doesn't bother me to talk about anything. My life is like a glass of water, transparent.
Shakira
We have to demand that governments live up to their promises and make education a reality for every child.
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
The first years of a child's life are too important for a child's future - their development, earnings, behavior, and health - for anyone to ignore.
Shakira
I'm like a mosquito, I love humidity. I don't sweat.
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
I'm a perfectionist in recovery. I'm trying to deal with that monster inside of me that wants to do everything right. Or better than right.
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
Barcelona is a great city and Spain is a great country to live in.
Shakira
It doesn't matter if you are a musician, a business leader, a president or a student. We all have a responsibility to give back.
Shakira
I'm happy. I have a man who makes me happy. And a family, which is what I most wanted in life.
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
