For me, love is a pure, unconditional, nonjudgmental feeling that I feel towards some people and some parts of nature. Most of us love, but the purest love is the one where we take ego out of the equation, and that is the hard part of love, keeping ego aside.

Many years ago, I started a foundation [Wayuu Taya Foundation] to help improve the life of Latin American indigenous people, providing them with food, medical attention, education, and also focusing on sustainability.

I began dancing when I was just 5, and I never really wanted to become an actress because its what every other model does.

Anything that propels me to create, like [my book, Straight Walk]. It kept me inspired for almost four years.

I think if I could have a boyfriend like my brothers I'd be really happy. But without the brother thing.

So struggling for work here has been very good for me, but it's also been very hard to handle rejection.

We [Latinos] must be proud. We have the same rights in the U.S. as anybody else. Instead of crying and getting upset about visa problems and having our families come join us, go fight for your rights. Make yourself a productive individual in the society.
