Shakira interview/personal quotes
On her songs
“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.”
On COVID-19
“Many countries are either not following the recommendations of the World Health Organization or are being too slow taking measures or they are prioritizing the economy over health. My experience over the past few weeks living in Europe is that the virus is too fast and the leaders are way too slow.”
