It doesn't bother me to talk about my private life, it doesn't bother me to talk about anything. My life is like a glass of water, transparent.
Shakira
Education is literally the difference between success and failure, or even life and death for many children.
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
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 think it's my energy and love of life that has been the real key to my fame and success.

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
People think I like to expose my body. But I don't. It's just because the dance moves require it.
Shakira
I consider myself a laborer, building my career brick over brick under the sun.
Shakira
I live for freedom, and freedom is a lie.
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
Women should feel happy with their bodies and not live with the stigma that comes from not looking like models in fashion magazines.
Shakira
Of course for a Colombian girl it was always impossible to even imagine becoming an international popstar, but my dream became reality.
Shakira
We have to demand that governments live up to their promises and make education a reality for every child.
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
Walking gets too boring, when you learn how to fly.
Shakira
