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“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.”
