SHAKIRAPeople are not depressed in Colombia the same way people are in America.
SHAKIRAI know what I’m doing even when I’m wearing a pencil skirt.
SHAKIRAI’m a closet nerd. I love to study history and visit museums.
SHAKIRAI didn’t expect babies to need so many diapers. Nobody told me they needed to be changed so often.
SHAKIRAI think love is something that you have to work on, and it develops over experience and time. Love is a practice.
SHAKIRAGerard and I pretty much share all parenting responsibilities, although I’m definitely the disciplinarian.
SHAKIRAMy body feels like it is asking to reproduce.
SHAKIRABeing 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.
SHAKIRAEveryone can know what is in my heart because I find it hard to conceal myself.
SHAKIRAI feel comfortable in my pop shoes. They let me walk in any direction. I like to go from one extreme to the other. One day I feel that I want to do a song with reggaeton influence, I do it. The next day I feel I need to do a song with rock elements to it, I do it.
SHAKIRAI know that youngsters want to find something in common with each other and feel closer to each other ideologically through bridges such as the Internet.
SHAKIRAI tried to give my career a shot from Barranquilla, but the musicians would never show up. It was just not taken seriously.
SHAKIRAI adore my dad. He’s a 78-year-old man and my inspiration.
SHAKIRAIf the fastest growing population in this country is Latino, that means we are the future of this country. And, we have proven we have talent. Now we need the tools to succeed.
SHAKIRAI feel like there is a part of me that represents a minority in the U.S., a minority around the world. People who struggle, people who want to succeed with drive and ambition.
SHAKIRAI’m more afraid of marriage than death.
