More quotes by Shakira
Becoming a mother has taught me to simply things and also to appreciate being at home more.
Shakira
They just want to continue playing their little game of power. And I feel that us people have the responsibility and also the obligation to demand to our leaders to give us the pacifist solutions. To give us a world in peace.
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
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 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
Education is literally the difference between success and failure, or even life and death for many children.
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
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
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
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'm Colombian and nothing will change that.
Shakira
People think I like to expose my body. But I don't. It's just because the dance moves require it.
Shakira
I believe education is the key. As an activist and a child of the developing world, I witnessed education's power to transform lives.
Shakira
It's not easy to work with me, I recognize that. It's not easy if those people aren't as perfectionistic as I am.
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
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?
Shakira
Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.
Shakira
I'm lucky to have family around me. Otherwise, I'll be taking the risk of falling in love with myself.
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 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
