More quotes by Shakira
I'm like a mosquito, I love humidity. I don't sweat.
Shakira
Sensual is everything that refers to the delight of the senses. And that's what artists do, is stimulate the senses in any possible way.
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
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
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
Becoming a mother has taught me to simply things and also to appreciate being at home more.
Shakira
I'm Colombian and nothing will change that.
Shakira
Walking gets too boring, when you learn how to fly.
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
We can work together across countries and cultures like never before through the Internet and social media. 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
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
We have to demand that governments live up to their promises and make education a reality for every child.
Shakira
My man prefers meat over the bone.
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
By giving every child a fair start, we are improving our collective future, including the private sector's ability to find talent in a very competitive global marketplace.
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
You can't achieve anything in life without a small amount of sacrifice.
Shakira
My hips don't lie and I don't lie either!
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
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
