I am trying to make my accent so it won't bother anyone, but I am not going to drive myself crazy trying to pretend I am an American girl when I am from Colombia.

I'm a firm believer that education is the most efficient tool we have to make people aware and make our children aware, and to protect them from the scourge of the century, which is AIDS

I'm Colombian and nothing will change that.

I have never had one moment of stage fright and performing has always been a huge thrill and source of enjoyment for me. It's part of my personality.

I started the Pies Descalzos foundation in Colombia when I was 18, and since then I have been very involved in the crusade for education.

For several years I worried a lot about protecting an image, but today, I have understood that the image cannot be preconceived.
