In their 20s, women try to be somebody they're not and try to turn themselves into something different. Now I'm in my 30s; I'm very happy with who I am.
From Shakira
My therapist taught me why I behave in certain ways and not to feel so pressured.
I do feel that I have to use my voice for those that don't have one. I have to do the best I can in my own work to represent my culture, represent the women of my country, of Latin America. What we stand for. What we're made of.
I feel like there is a part of me that represents a minority in the U.S., a minority around the world. People who struggle, people who want to succeed with drive and ambition.
I can take the spotlight that shines on me and shift it towards those issues that are infinitely more important than my own issues.
I'm barefoot whenever I can be.
I'm a closet nerd. I love to study history and visit museums.
I love food, and I'm a chronic over-orderer at restaurants.
I'm double-jointed. I can put my legs over my head, which freaks people out.
Gerard is just like me, but two meters tall. We're very alike; it's not for nothing that we were born on the same day, it's just that he was born 10 years later... he's a happy guy, healthy here, in the head.
