More quotes by Shakira
I'm happy. I have a man who makes me happy. And a family, which is what I most wanted in life.
Shakira
I never went to the gym before in my life. But, at 32, I notice that my body responds negatively to bad food, so I must make double the effort.
Shakira
Because of you, I'm running out of reasons to cry.
Shakira
There is no other investment that has the kind of social multiplier effect that early education has. It is an incredible thing to nurture and watch grow and spread.
Shakira
Of course for a Colombian girl it was always impossible to even imagine becoming an international popstar, but my dream became reality.
Shakira
You can't achieve anything in life without a small amount of sacrifice.
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
As women, we need to embrace our bodies and be confident with who we are.
Shakira
Women should feel happy with their bodies and not live with the stigma that comes from not looking like models in fashion magazines.
Shakira
I'm not a trained dancer, but I grew up in a culture that revolves around dance.
Shakira
I apply the same amount of dedication to being a mom as I do to my music...
Shakira
I don't go out without make up. I'm a woman, you know.
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 first years of a child's life are too important for a child's future - their development, earnings, behavior, and health - for anyone to ignore.
Shakira
People think I like to expose my body. But I don't. It's just because the dance moves require it.
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 started the Pies Descalzos foundation in Colombia when I was 18, and since then I have been very involved in the crusade for education.
Shakira
For several years I worried a lot about protecting an image, but today, I have understood that the image cannot be preconceived.
Shakira
We have to demand that governments live up to their promises and make education a reality for every child.
Shakira
My music career has been very rewarding, but success never came easily.
Shakira
