Because of you, I'm running out of reasons to cry. - Shakira
But you own the place, Where all my thoughts go hiding, And right under your clothes, Is where I find them. - Shakira
I think that that's why I am probably a romantic and a passionate person. But I also have a very disciplined side, very disciplined and very demanding. Sometimes my sense of responsibility is my worst torturer - Shakira
I wish there was a chance for you and me, I wish you couldn't find a place to be, away from here. - Shakira
I had a big collection of fried eggs that I painted - 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
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble, so you don't confuse them with mountains. - Shakira
I admire a person who, for the love of art, is able to take off their clothes in front of a camera. But I'm not capable, I'm too cowardly for that - Shakira
My songs are the reflection of how I think and how I feel in that moment. But I'm conscious of the fact that artists have a responsibility before the masses and they have to take care with their words. - Shakira
Writing in English was a major challenge. I didn't want other songwriters to write for me. I wanted to preserve the spirit of my songs in Spanish. I am the same Shakira in English as I am in Spanish. - Shakira
For several years I worried a lot about protecting an image, but today I have understood that the image cannot be preconceived - 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 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 - 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 don't like the competition part of soccer. It's a war in short pants. I prefer art. - Shakira
I'm Colombian and nothing will change that. - Shakira
I prefer an ugly truth to a pretty lie. If someone is telling me the truth that is when I will give my heart. - Shakira
Writing songs has a therapeutic effect, and it either kills off love or wins the heart of the lover - Shakira
I want some day to be able to love with the same intensity and unselfishness that parents love their children with. - 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
In this life, to earn your place you have to fight for it - Shakira
You're a song written by the hands of God - Shakira
I don't go out without make up. I'm a woman, you know - Shakira
Everyone can know what is in my heart because I find it hard to conceal myself - Shakira
