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
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
I apply the same amount of dedication to being a mom as I do to my music...
Shakira
I have always loved performing.
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
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
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
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
As women, we need to embrace our bodies and be confident with who we are.
Shakira
I think my dad is the only Arabic descendent who is an unsuccessful businessman.
Shakira
I was unaware of the dispute in Brooklyn. I would never knowingly wear any clothes or support any company who produced clothing with alleged wage and labor violations.
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
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
Becoming a mother has taught me to simply things and also to appreciate being at home more.
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
Even after I got some recognition and success, I still had to work hard and prove myself.
Shakira
My hips don't lie and I don't lie either!
Shakira
Of course for a Colombian girl it was always impossible to even imagine becoming an international popstar, but my dream became reality.
Shakira
I'm happy. I have a man who makes me happy. And a family, which is what I most wanted in life.
Shakira
We have to demand that governments live up to their promises and make education a reality for every child.
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
