I've met dedicated people from all sectors of society who are committed to giving children the tools they need for a better future. I'm always impressed by the passionate young leaders I meet. As the pace of change accelerates, so do the challenges we face. However, the chances to solve them increase too.

Europe is a very different place from my native country of Colombia and my children are growing up in a very urban setting which is nothing like when I was growing up and would be able to play barefoot in the street. But we have a very good life.

Even after I got some recognition and success, I still had to work hard and prove myself.

I prefer an ugly truth to a pretty lie. If someone is telling me the truth that is when I will give my heart.

I think a fragrance is all about sensations and imagery, and can evoke visions, feelings and thoughts.

If you can prove the existence of God, it can only be proven through love.

I'm someone who has always been very stubborn and strong-willed. I never gave up.
