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 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

Everyone can make a difference, whether it is by building a school, sponsoring a child's education, volunteering at their local school, or working to hold leaders accountable for their promises.
Shakira
My music career has been very rewarding, but success never came easily.
Shakira
Because of you, I'm running out of reasons to cry.
Shakira
You collect impressions from people, from life, from your own daydreams.
Shakira
I think my dad is the only Arabic descendent who is an unsuccessful businessman.
Shakira
I live for freedom, and freedom is a lie.
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
