More quotes by Shakira
Even after I got some recognition and success, I still had to work hard and prove myself.
Shakira
A good fragrance should have a certain personality that makes people identify the scent with you.
Shakira
I'm Colombian and nothing will change that.
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
You can't achieve anything in life without a small amount of sacrifice.
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 don't go out without make up. I'm a woman, you know.
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
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
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
I think it's my energy and love of life that has been the real key to my fame and success.
Shakira
Nationalism is cured by traveling.
Shakira
I'm like a mosquito, I love humidity. I don't sweat.
Shakira
In the full light of day, I don't want to think about the sunset.
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
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
I am trying to make my accent so it won't bother anyone, but I am not going to drive myself crazy trying to pretend I am an American girl when I am from Colombia.
Shakira
Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.
Shakira
My hips don't lie and I don't lie either!
Shakira
You're a song written by the hands of God.
Shakira
