You collect impressions from people, from life, from your own daydreams.

I never went to the gym before in my life. But, at 32, I notice that my body responds negatively to bad food, so I must make double the effort.

I don't go out without make up. I'm a woman, you know.

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.

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

The music, of course, is important, but it's the energy that I bring to it that I think the public appreciate the most.

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