More quotes by Shakira
Europe is a very different place from my native country of Colombia and my children are growing up in a very urban setting which is nothing like when I was growing up and would be able to play barefoot in the street. But we have a very good life.
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
You collect impressions from people, from life, from your own daydreams.
Shakira
Education is literally the difference between success and failure, or even life and death for many children.
Shakira
I live for freedom, and freedom is a lie.
Shakira
As women, we need to embrace our bodies and be confident with who we are.
Shakira
I started the Pies Descalzos foundation in Colombia when I was 18, and since then I have been very involved in the crusade for education.
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
Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.
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
Nationalism is cured by traveling.
Shakira
Because of you, I'm running out of reasons to cry.
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
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
For several years I worried a lot about protecting an image, but today, I have understood that the image cannot be preconceived.
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
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
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 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
My man prefers meat over the bone.
Shakira
