Shakira“I adore my dad. He's a 78-year-old man and my inspiration.”
Shakira“At the age of eight, I discovered that I could write songs. My dad used to take them to the notary and register them so that nobody could steal them from me.”
Shakira“The thing is, my dad's always been more of a bookworm; he was interested in more intellectual pursuits, but nobody can escape the passion that football stirs.”
Shakira“I think my dad is the only Arabic descendent who is an unsuccessful businessman.”
Shakira“My dad is a writer, and to see him always in front of a typewriter gave me the inspiration to write. He was my idol, my hero. I wanted to be just like him.”
Shakira“I wanna stay an eternal girlfriend. I want to have my boyfriend's children, but I don't think we need a piece of paper to regulate the game, and we don't have to go through the whole stress of a wedding and suffering to throw a good party.”
Shakira“A man's car is like an extension of their ego and their manhood.”
Shakira“I did not want to spend the rest of my life not being able to ride in a nice car.”
Shakira“Education is the only way forward in Latin America and developing countries in general.”
Shakira“In Colombia, education is sometimes considered a luxury, not a human right. And it's not a priority in the agendas of many leaders.”
