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
Becoming a mother has taught me to simply things and also to appreciate being at home more.
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

Shakira
As women, we need to embrace our bodies and be confident with who we are.
Shakira
By giving every child a fair start, we are improving our collective future, including the private sector's ability to find talent in a very competitive global marketplace.
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
You want to be skinny and have a good body? You have to work out every day and say no to certain foods.
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
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
