More quotes by Shakira
My music career has been very rewarding, but success never came easily.
Shakira

Shakira
I admire a person who, for the love of art, is able to take off their clothes in front of a camera. But I'm not capable, I'm too cowardly for that.
Shakira
Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.
Shakira

Shakira

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 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 consider myself a laborer, building my career brick over brick under the sun.
Shakira
As women, we need to embrace our bodies and be confident with who we are.
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
Nationalism is cured by traveling.
Shakira
I apply the same amount of dedication to being a mom as I do to my music...
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
