More quotes by Shakira
I'm not a trained dancer, but I grew up in a culture that revolves around dance.
Shakira
At the current pace of change, we won't have universal access to education in 100 years, let alone five, and that is unacceptable.
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
I always believed that women have rights and that there are some women that are intelligent enough to claim those rights. There are some others that are stupid enough not to.
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
Freddy Demann (Shakira's Manager) is a man that knows the world of music. And I know that I am in good hands.
Shakira
My music career has been very rewarding, but success never came easily.
Shakira
People think I like to expose my body. But I don't. It's just because the dance moves require it.
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
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
Live your life to the fullest.
Shakira
Nationalism is cured by traveling.
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
I'm more afraid of marriage than death.
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
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
I've met dedicated people from all sectors of society who are committed to giving children the tools they need for a better future. I'm always impressed by the passionate young leaders I meet. As the pace of change accelerates, so do the challenges we face. However, the chances to solve them increase too.
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
The music, of course, is important, but it's the energy that I bring to it that I think the public appreciate the most.
Shakira
