It’s incredibly liberating to spend an hour talking to someone and not caring about what you sound like. It’s about understanding myself. Sometimes I’ll speak to my therapist for an hour a day. It’s become part of my routine.

I’d love to go to that World Cup – I’m not sure in what capacity, but I’ll definitely be there. I know that nobody wants to miss it, least of all me.
ShakiraShakira I now talk to different cultures, and I hope that I can bridge those gaps and differences between us. It’s an adventure, a dream…
ShakiraShakira Becoming a mom forced me to re-prioritize and make room for the things that are most important, while recognizing that there are things I can let go of, and the world won’t crumble around me.
ShakiraShakira I’m a multi-faceted woman and person, like all women are – there’s no black and white. We have shades of grey in the middle. And even many more colours that other people don’t see!
ShakiraShakira I admire Madonna because she always did whatever she felt like doing. She went through some controversial periods when people rejected her, but she kept on reinventing herself.
ShakiraShakira I came to understand that I’m never going to be the perfect mother, but I’m going to do the best I can. Same goes for everything in my life.
ShakiraShakira If it was up to me, I would just wear jeans and t-shirts, even to red carpets, but then no one would photograph me, so that would make me very sad. So you know, I’ve gotta keep up with the rest of the female population and sometimes try a little harder.
ShakiraShakira Relationships have to have a give and take if they’re going to work in the long term.
ShakiraShakira We’ve built six schools in Colombia and do work in South Africa and Haiti. We teach 5,000 students.
ShakiraShakira I feel a real sense of duty to use the voice and the platform I’ve been afforded by my fame to speak out for those whose voices don’t get a chance to be heard.
ShakiraShakira Being raised in a developing country opened my eyes to so much I cannot tolerate. In Colombia, education is sometimes considered a luxury, not a human right. And it’s not a priority in the agendas of many leaders.
ShakiraShakira I want some day to be able to love with the same intensity and unselfishness that parents love their children with.
ShakiraShakira My dad used to take them to the notary and register them so that nobody could steal them from me.
ShakiraShakira We need to provide higher quality and innovative early childhood development programs all throughout Latin America.
ShakiraShakira 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.
ShakiraShakira I do feel that I have to use my voice for those that don’t have one. I have to do the best I can in my own work to represent my culture, represent the women of my country, of Latin America. What we stand for. What we’re made of.
