My team and I have reunited two elements that coexist with difficulty: respect and affection, because when they love you they don't respect you and when they respect you they don't love you.
Shakira is a Colombian singer-songwriter, dancer and record producer often called the "Queen of Latin Music." She is credited with popularizing Spanish-language music around the world and with opening the international pop market to other Latin artists. Her awards include four Grammy Awards and fifteen Latin Grammy Awards.
She made her recording debut with Sony Music Colombia at the age of 14 and rose to prominence with the albums Pies Descalzos and Dónde Están los Ladrones. Her first English-language release, Laundry Service, sold over 13 million copies worldwide and became the best-selling album by a female Latin artist. Later Spanish-language albums such as Fijación Oral, Vol. 1, Sale el Sol and El Dorado all topped the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart.

I am a person who has many dreams. But as soon as I accomplish one, I move on to the next. That's my fatal, absurd nature.
I thank God that I'm a product of my parents. That they infected me with their intelligence and energy for life, with their thirst for knowledge and their love. I'm grateful that I know where I come from.
Gerard and I pretty much share all parenting responsibilities, although I'm definitely the disciplinarian.
Relationships have to have a give and take if they're going to work in the long term.
Both the IDB and Fundacion ALAS believe that the future of prosperity and equality that we hope for has to start today with higher investment and higher quality in Early Childhood Development programs throughout the region.
The music industry is dominated by guys. I work with men 98 percent of the time - producers, arrangers, musicians, engineers.
I love food, and I'm a chronic over-orderer at restaurants.
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!
It's very difficult to think that you're with someone that you know, and all of a sudden you don't know them: it turns out that they betray you. It's painful, but it's best to turn the page.
A man's car is like an extension of their ego and their manhood.
