The music teacher thought I sang like a goat. It was kind of devastating. A few months after that, I participated in a music contest and won. I took my little trophy to school and rubbed it in his nose. I said to him, What do you say now?

More quotes by Shakira
I thank God that I'm a product of my parents, that they infected me with their intelligence and energy for life, with their thirst for knowledge and their love. I'm grateful that I know where I come from.
Shakira

Shakira
I think my dad is the only Arabic descendent who is an unsuccessful businessman.
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
Live your life to the fullest.
Shakira

Shakira
Freddy Demann (Shakira's Manager) is a man that knows the world of music. And I know that I am in good hands.
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
I'm not a trained dancer, but I grew up in a culture that revolves around dance.
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 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 have always loved performing.
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
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
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
In the full light of day, I don't want to think about the sunset.
Shakira
