More quotes by Shakira
Education is literally the difference between success and failure, or even life and death for many children.
Shakira

Shakira
Sensual is everything that refers to the delight of the senses. And that's what artists do, is stimulate the senses in any possible way.
Shakira
Barcelona is a great city and Spain is a great country to live in.
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
It doesn't bother me to talk about my private life, it doesn't bother me to talk about anything. My life is like a glass of water, transparent.
Shakira
I'm lucky to have family around me. Otherwise, I'll be taking the risk of falling in love with myself.
Shakira

Shakira

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
You want to be skinny and have a good body? You have to work out every day and say no to certain foods.
Shakira
I always believed that women have rights and that there are some women that are intelligent enough to claim those rights. There are some others that are stupid enough not to.
Shakira
Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.
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
People think I like to expose my body. But I don't. It's just because the dance moves require it.
Shakira
My main hope for my children would be that whatever profession or calling they choose in life, that they pursue it with passion.
Shakira
I'm Colombian and nothing will change that.
Shakira
I'm not a trained dancer, but I grew up in a culture that revolves around dance.
Shakira
As women, we need to embrace our bodies and be confident with who we are.
Shakira
I was unaware of the dispute in Brooklyn. I would never knowingly wear any clothes or support any company who produced clothing with alleged wage and labor violations.
Shakira
