More quotes by 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 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 think it's my energy and love of life that has been the real key to my fame and success.
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
Barcelona is a great city and Spain is a great country to live in.
Shakira
I'm lucky to have family around me. Otherwise, I'll be taking the risk of falling in love with myself.
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
You collect impressions from people, from life, from your own daydreams.
Shakira
I believe education is the key. As an activist and a child of the developing world, I witnessed education's power to transform lives.
Shakira
People think I like to expose my body. But I don't. It's just because the dance moves require it.
Shakira
I apply the same amount of dedication to being a mom as I do to my music...
Shakira
I live for freedom, and freedom is a lie.
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
Obviously, our business leaders yield enormous influence on our political leaders, and they have a duty to use that influence for the greater good. But beyond that, the private sector depends on having healthy, educated and productive workers.
Shakira
I'm Colombian and nothing will change that.
Shakira
They just want to continue playing their little game of power. And I feel that us people have the responsibility and also the obligation to demand to our leaders to give us the pacifist solutions. To give us a world in peace.
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
Even after I got some recognition and success, I still had to work hard and prove myself.
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
I think my dad is the only Arabic descendent who is an unsuccessful businessman.
