I think it's my energy and love of life that has been the real key to my fame and success.

I'm a perfectionist in recovery. I'm trying to deal with that monster inside of me that wants to do everything right. Or better than right.

Writing songs has a therapeutic effect, and it either kills off love or wins the heart of the lover.

Freddy Demann (Shakira's Manager) is a man that knows the world of music. And I know that I am in good hands.

I'm not a trained dancer, but I grew up in a culture that revolves around dance.

I think that we see war as a virtual thing and we even get to believe that bombs fall on top of cardboard cutouts and stuff like that. They don't. They kill real people, real children, real mothers and millions of innocent people.

They just want to continue playing their little game of power. And I feel that us people have the responsibility and also the obligation to demand to our leaders to give us the pacifist solutions. To give us a world in peace.
