Shakira
Even after I got some recognition and success, I still had to work hard and prove myself.
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
Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.
Shakira
Walking gets too boring, when you learn how to fly.
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 live for freedom, and freedom is a lie.
Shakira
