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 have such a respect and fascination for dance. I can be light as air or stay grounded. Dance is really another universe.

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

Walking gets too boring, when you learn how to fly.

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'm lucky to have family around me. Otherwise, I'll be taking the risk of falling in love with myself. But there are always people close to me who I trust, who will scold me and pull my ears if I need it. Fame isolates people from reality. That happens to many artists, and I don't want it to happen to me.

My hope is that every country in Latin America will make a significant commitment to supporting early childhood development programs.
