More quotes by 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 hips don't lie and I don't lie either!
Shakira
My music career has been very rewarding, but success never came easily.
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
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 have always loved performing.
Shakira
Barcelona is a great city and Spain is a great country to live in.
Shakira
Even after I got some recognition and success, I still had to work hard and prove myself.
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
The first years of a child's life are too important for a child's future - their development, earnings, behavior, and health - for anyone to ignore.
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
For several years I worried a lot about protecting an image, but today, I have understood that the image cannot be preconceived.
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'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
People think I like to expose my body. But I don't. It's just because the dance moves require it.
Shakira
It's not easy to work with me, I recognize that. It's not easy if those people aren't as perfectionistic as I am.
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 man prefers meat over the bone.
Shakira
I think this generation can play a very important role. If we act now, this could be the first generation to witness universal education.
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
