More quotes by 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
There is no other investment that has the kind of social multiplier effect that early education has. It is an incredible thing to nurture and watch grow and spread.
Shakira
My main hope for my children would be that whatever profession or calling they choose in life, that they pursue it with passion.
Shakira
I consider myself a laborer, building my career brick over brick under the sun.
Shakira
Walking gets too boring, when you learn how to fly.
Shakira
Writing in English was a major challenge. I didn't want other songwriters to write for me. I wanted to preserve the spirit of my songs in Spanish. I am the same Shakira in English as I am in Spanish.
Shakira

Shakira

Shakira
In the full light of day, I don't want to think about the sunset.
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

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
My hips don't lie and I don't lie either!
Shakira
I just want to grow old with a man who takes care of me, and I want to eventually have kids and want them to be good children to me. Just want to be treated nice and have respect.
Shakira
Nationalism is cured by traveling.
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 never went to the gym before in my life. But, at 32, I notice that my body responds negatively to bad food, so I must make double the effort.
Shakira
A good fragrance should have a certain personality that makes people identify the scent with you.
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
I live for freedom, and freedom is a lie.
Shakira
